What is a CSA-1099-R

CSA 1099-R, Statement of Annuity Paid , is a variation of the 1099-R form for Federal retirees. It’s used to report civil service retirement payments.

To enter your CSA 1099-R:

1. Sign into your account and open your return by selecting the Take me to my return button.
2. Type “1099-r” (lower-case, with the dashes) in the Search box.
3. Select the "Jump to" link in the search results.
4. On the Your 1099-R screen, select Yes and continue.
   • If you land on the Your 1099-R Entries screen instead, select Add Another 1099-R and continue.
5. At the import screen, select I'll type it in myself and continue.
6. Select the CSA-1099-R option (verify the right spouse is selected, if applicable) and continue.

Thank you for that good information

I entered annuity dollars and taxes, as a 1099r. The form also shows as a CSA 1099r, is this the same, or do I need to change the type of form, on my online return? 

If you received a CSA 1099-R and it’s appearing as a CSA 1099-R, you’re fine. 

If you received a normal 1099-R and it’s appearing as a CSA 1099-R, go ahead and delete it, and re-input.

Please see Tips and tricks in the TurboTax Help article "How do I view and delete forms in TurboTax Online?" for guidance.
