Untriggering a Form 5329-T

scobb01 — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 01:02:04 GMT

How can I untrigger an Form 5329-T that was generatd by a TurboTax error? I made a direct rollover from one traditional IRA to another. TurboTax mistakenly thinks I made an excess contribution. I correctly entered all the information from my 1099-R including checking distribution code G. Any suggestions?

Will simply deleting Form 5329-T fix the problem?

Be sure that you only entered the Form 1099-R to report the direct rollover from one IRA to the other IRA. This should not have also been entered as an IRA contribution because that could have triggered the Form 5329.

Go back to Deductions and Credits > Retirement and Investments > Traditional and Roth IRA Contributions and click Update to be sure there are not IRA contributions noted in that section representing the direct rollover.

If nothing is found in the contributions section, then try deleting the Form 5329. If there is still an entry in your return triggering the form, then it may not remain deleted or an error condition could be created.
