The 1099 R will be entered in the Retirement Plans and Social Security section.

• Select Federal Taxes
• Select Wages and Income
• Select Show More at Retirement Plans and Social Security
• Select IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R)

This section will also include an annuity distribution.

Form 1099 R is used for all types of retirement accounts. The data entry is the same for distributions from pensions, IRAs, 401ks and annuity distributions.

How about just answering one question at a time instead of combining some and making it worse than it is. All I want to know is about 1099-R military retired not 401K.

All retirement income is reported to the taxpayer on form 1099 R. IRA, 401K, Pensions Plan Withdrawals are all listed because have to be entered in Turbo Tax in the same way.

@gronker11 - Read the answer above.   All 1099-R's are entered in the same place.

I am using Turbo Tax for the first time. I am using the Deluxe version and I am trying to enter the annuity income I have received for 2019, using the info on the 1099 that was mailed to me.  I do not see where the "Show More" tab or option that you refer to in your answer is shown in the "Retirement Plans and Social Security section of Turbo Tax. Can you please help? Thank you.

that there was a cost of $86,872.41. The contract was purchased February 4, 2000, and on that document shown beginning value of $86,872.41. How do I report this information on the 1040?

"MY CLIENT" ???    The Turbotax program is not for use by paid tax preparers ... you must use a professional tax program so you can sign the return you prepare according to IRS rules.

IF this distribution was from an employer sponsored retirement account then it would be entered on Form 1040 Line 5a from the gross distribution and Line 5b for the taxable distribution.

Go back to the Form 1099-R that you entered and edit the form.  Make sure that you did NOT check the box labeled IRA/SEP/SIMPLE
