Rerurned RMD

[CaptainAl22]

I received a 1099-R showing my RMD distribution from my IRA.  The RMD distribution was returned to the IRA.  Where do I input the returned RMD distribution in Turbo Tax?

Since there is no RMD required for 2020,  after you enter the 1099R say it was NOT an RMD and then that you rolled it over (even if back into the same account).  Was any withholding taken out?  If it was then did you replace the withholding with your own money?  Otherwise the withholding will be a taxable distribution itself.

The 1099-R is for a distribution from an IRA.  How do you enter into TurboTax that it was returned?  There was no withholding taken out.

Didn't you understand my answer above?  

Since there is no RMD required for 2020 then after you enter the 1099R say it was NOT an RMD and then that you rolled it over (even if back into the same account). It will show as income on the Turbo Tax Summary or Review so check the actual 1040. The amount should be on line 4a say ROLLOVER by the taxable line 4b.

Here, I made you 3 screen shots

I am using the PC version of TT and I don't get that screen asking about a rollover.  No matter how I enter it, as RMD or not as RMD, when I got to Forms, it still shows as taxable income on the 1040 line 4b.

What am I missing?

Is it an inherited IRA?  I think that is quirky.   @dmertz

Mine is an inherited IRA, as well.

The only way you would not see the following screen in the desktop editions is if you indicated this was from a Non-Qualified Plan if this is a pension or annuity.  

If from an IRA you would have to indicate that this distribution was transferred to a qualified charity.

You could try deleting and reentering the 1099-R if you have not already done so.  Be sure to indicate the none of the distribution was RMD even if the original intent of the distribution was to be an RMD.  RMDs were waived for 2020.

[BarryK123]

Yes, it was necessary to delete and re-enter the info.  Simply editing the already entered info didn't work.  Thanks.

The answer is the Distribution Code in Box 7 of the 1099-R should be an "N" and not a "7"

I enter data on the Forms.

[dmertz]

Code N has nothing to do with a returned RMD.  You cannot use code N.  You must use the code that is present in box 7 of the Form 1099-R provided by the payer.

[CaptainAl22]

Where on the 1099-R entry form do you say it is not an RMD?  I enter it directly into the TT form.

After you have completed entry of the form there are a series of pages to go through.  One will ask if this was a RMD.
