The amount withheld from your distribution was only an estimate, just like withholding from your paycheck. The exact amount of tax is not known until you prepare your tax return, because it depends on how much other income you have. The distribution is added to your other income and taxed at whatever your marginal rate is, and the early withdrawal penalty is added, if appropriate. The total amount of added tax may be more or less than what was withheld. You get full credit for the tax that was withheld at the time of withdrawal. You aren't being taxed again, just once accurately.

So where do I get credit for the tax I already paid at withdrawal time. Where do you add that on the form and where does it adjust.

Thanks for responses!

You enter the Form 1099-R as received.

The federal income taxes withheld and shown in box 4 of the form are entered on your federal tax return as a tax payment (just like from a W-2). The taxable amount shown in box 2a of the form is entered on your tax return as ordinary income and taxed at your current tax rate.

If your total tax payments are greater than your total tax liabilities then you will receive a tax refund for the overpayment. If the total tax payments are less than your total tax liabilities then you will have taxes owed.

To enter, edit or delete a form 1099-R -

Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
Click on Wages and Income (Personal Income using Home and Business)
Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
Scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security
On IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R), click the start or update button

Or enter 1099-r in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen. Click on Jump to 1099-R

Pay who for what? Did you already file and pay a tax due? Or are you filling out your return now? Did you get an email asking for a payment?

Oh, how did you pay it the first time? Are they suppose to take it out of your bank account or did you mail them a check? Was your return accepted? The tax due is not due until July 15 this year. Check your bank account or credit card to see if it was paid.

Thanks for asking this question. Was scratching my head as to why the box was checked for taxable amt not determined and they took out Federal and State. The key here is "estimate", makes sense.
