Regarding RMD, should the gross (before taxes) or net amount (after taxes) be entered?

jamesmichaelmain · ‎February 28, 2026

Turbotax is asking the amount of the RMD that was due by Dec. 31, 2025. Is this the gross or the net amount of the RMD I received?

The RMD is calculated on the account balance of the retirement account, so you want to enter the GROSS amount.

The Gross amount. Usually Box 1 on your 1099-R

Thank you very much. I more-or-less expected it to be the gross amount, but thank you for confirming that.
