1099 and 5498

If you split the 401k into a traditional IRA and Roth IRA then you will have to split Form 1099-R into two separate Forms for TurboTax to handle this situation. One for the rollover to the traditional IRA and one for the conversion. As long as the total and distributions codes match entering it like this will not cause a problem.

1. Click on "Search" on the top right and type “1099-R” 
2. Click on “Jump to 1099-R”
3. Enter the first 1099-R for the rollover into the traditional IRA:
   1. Box 1 Enter amount send to traditional IRA
   2. Box 2b "Taxable amount not determined" check
   3. Box 5 blank
4. On the "Did you move this money from a 401(k) to a Roth 401(k)?" screen answer "No"
5. On the "Did you move the money to a Roth IRA?" screen answer "No"
6. Enter a second 1099-R for the conversion to Roth IRA:
   1. Box 1 Enter amount send to Roth IRA
   2. Box 2b "Taxable amount not determined" check
   3. Box 5 enter amount listed on Form 1099-R
7. On the "Did you move this money from a 401(k) to a Roth 401(k)?" screen answer "No"
8. On the "Did you move the money to a Roth IRA?" screen answer "Yes"

DanaB27:

On both of our 1099-R there are amounts in box 5. You said to leave them blank.  Is this correct?

Thanks, 

Susan

To verify, you received two Form 1099-R. What are the codes in box 7? Which one was sent to the Roth IRA? Which one to the traditional IRA?
