When will I be able to list my 1099R's? Why don't all of my deductions show up after I input them on TurboTax?

    Are you using the Desktop program?  1099R has been ready for a long time.  You may need to update your program.  Go up to Online-Check for Updates or for Mac reboot your computer.

    You can enter 1099R.  Are you having a problem?

     

    The easiest way to get to the 1099-R entry screen is to simply search for 1099-R (upper- or lower-case, with or without the dash) in your TurboTax program and then click the "Jump to" link in the search results.

     

    Enter a 1099R under

    Federal Taxes on the left side

    Wages & Income at the top

     

    Then scroll way down to Retirement Plans and Social Security,

    Then IRA, 401(k), Pension Plans (1099R) - click Start or Revisit

     

    If you are filing a Joint return be sure to pick which person it is for.

    Do you think you will have enough to itemize?  The Standard Deduction has increased so many people will be switching to the Standard Deduction.  And there is a max 10,000 limit (5,000 MFS) of property tax and state taxes "SALT".  SALT is State And Local Tax.  Which includes property tax, any state tax paid like for last year’s return and includes any state withholding from your W2s and any 1099s you have. And any taxes in W2 box 14 and 19 like SDI or VDI. You can only deduct up to 10,000 (5,000 MFS) for SALT State and Local Taxes.

     

    If it's giving you the Standard Deduction and  not showing you Schedule A you can check the actual amount of itemized deductions by using by going to

    Tax Tools on left

    Tools - Topic Search (top left box)

    Type in  itemized deductions, choosing.  It should highlight that in the list, click on GO

     

    Then Click on "Change my deduction". That will display the actual amount of itemized deductions vs. the standard deduction.    (Be sure to uncheck "Change my deduction" after checking it so you do not lock in the wrong deduction.
