Briefly, after taking an aggregated RMD from one of two IRA accounts, a rollover of the remaining funds had to be done to another custodian in order to do a Roth conversion prior to Dec. 31. We were directed to fill out a form for a full surrender of the IRA with check being sent to us then immediately rolled over into another IRA at another custodian. The rollover to the new custodian was classified as a rollover by them, however, the initial custodian, although being told that the surrender was to be a rollover, treated it as a normal distribution. The reason we had to get a check instead of doing an electronic rollover was that it was mid-December and the standard process would have taken past Dec. 31.
So, the ONLY taxable distribution was the RMD (minus some QCD) whereas the 1099 shows the entire IRA distributions from the account are taxable. How can this be managed, with an explanation to the Fed and State?
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
If your 1099-R is coded as a normal distribution, in the follow-up questions after entering the info from the form, is where you specify what you did with the funds.
Indicate that the amount of RMD is the same amount you rolled over to QCD, and that the balance was rolled over to another IRA.
Go through the screens carefully, and pay close attention to the questions.
Here's some info on Traditional IRA to Roth IRA Conversions and RMD is not listed on my 1099-R.
You should end up with the correct amount showing as taxable on Form 1040.
To clarify regarding the first distribution of the RMD of about $10K for the year, $4K went to QCD leaving a $6K taxable amount. The remainder of the account went to a rollover.
