Your annuity provider should have sent you a 1099-R.

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.

My 1099-R has an amount of $5541. The annuity company told me I would only have to pay tax on the earnings which was $541. The amount put into the annuity when purchased was $5000 post tax and should not be counted as income. Also the annuity has past its maturity date.

Where are you seeing the amount of $5,541 on the 1099-R?  Is it in box 1 or box 2a?  Or somewhere else?

 

From the information that you provided, I suspect box 1 shows $5,541 and box 2a shows $541.

 

Please clarify.

Box one shows $5541 and box 2 is empty. The $541 is shown on the earning statement  from the institution.
