Got money from State Retirement. Opened an IRA for me and my wife. Does that count as moving the money to another retirement account.

Yes, it does. You should get a Form 1099-R from your State Retirement custodian.  

  • 60-day rollover – If a distribution from an IRA or a retirement plan is paid directly to you, you can deposit all or a portion of it in an IRA or a retirement plan within 60 days. Taxes will be withheld from a distribution from a retirement plan (see below), so you’ll have to use other funds to roll over the full amount of the distribution.

 

To enter the information, follow these steps:

  1. Type “1099-R” in the Search box.
  2. Select the "Jump to" link in the search results.
  3. Enter the information from your 1099-R form and continue.
  4. At the What did you do with the money? screen, select I moved the money to another retirement account.
  5. From the drop-down list, select the rolled over option and continue.

 

If taxes were withheld in Box 4 of your form, they'll either be added to your refund or applied to your tax liability.
