Enter your 1099-R. You'll get a Form 1099-R if you received $10 or more from a retirement plan. You're required to report a 1099-R on your tax return, even if the distribution isn't taxable. You'll have the option in TurboTax to import or upload your 1099-R or manually enter the information yourself.

Here's where to enter your 1099-R in TurboTax:

Open or continue your return.
In the Federal section, select Wages & Income.
Scroll to locate Retirement Plans and Social Security.
Select Start or Revisit next to IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R).

You can also find the 1099-R section using Search. Open your return, enter 1099-r in the search bar, and select the Jump to 1099-r link.

Form 8889 is for your HSA account. Contact Us
