SEP IRA

[KST57]

The RMD for a single IRA was taken as it is every year. All the correct boxes checked but this year it’s still showing a penalty. Taxable income is zero so it has nothing to do with that. What is the fix to work around this issue? I have used TT for years and never had this issue.

If you have multiple IRAs but took the total RMD only from one IRA then select "An IRA..." on the "Did You Miss a Required Distribution From Any Retirement Accounts?" screen and click "Continue". On the "Total RMD for all other IRAs" screen enter the RMD from your other IRAs (where you didn't take a distribution from).
