Why can't I put in my 1099-R info in turbo tax 2020. The system states that IRS hasn't put all the information needed to calculate . Is this true or am I doing something wrong.

I did everything you ask me to do and I still could not put in my 1099-R information.

I could not have my 1099-R info uploaded to turbo tax because they were not on the list to perform the function.

When I went to put them in manually, that is when I get the screen that states IRS has not put all info in .

Is there a problem with the disk I bought to do my taxes.

@dboshers Your TurboTax desktop program may need to be manually updated for CARES Act Retirement Distribution changes.

Click 'Online' from the top menu, then choose 'Check for Updates'.

The newly enacted economic stimulus package allows those negatively affected by COVID-19 to borrow up to $100,000 from their 401(k) and IRAs without penalty.

It also allows the borrower to pay the taxes on that withdrawal over three years rather than all at once.
