SEP IRA

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.

Please follow these steps in TurboTax Online:

 

  1. Login to your TurboTax Account 
  2. Click on "Search" on the top right and type “1099-R”
  3. Click on “Jump to 1099-R” and enter your 1099-R
  4. Enter the RMD amount for this account on the "Let's get more information about your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD)" screen
  5. Continue until "How much of this distribution applied to your December 31, 2024 RMD?" screen and select "The entire distribution was an RMD" /or select "Only part of this distribution was a RMD" and enter the amount of RMD (if this distribution includes RMD for other IRA accounts then you included the amount here)
  6. On the "Here's your 1099-R info" screen click "Continue"
  7. On the "Did You Miss a Required Distribution From Any Retirement Accounts?" screen select "None of these plans failed to withdraw the RMD" if you met all of your RMD for 2024, otherwise select what is applicable. 

 

 

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).
