If you are filing using Turbo Tax Online, it is the only year you can file online, 2020. If you are trying to file your 2019 tax return, you would need to purchase the CD/Download version of Turbo Tax.

I'm trying to file 2020.  The 2019 column is just showing what I filed last year.  I went under the

IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R) the amount is no posting to show my overall income.

Please verify that you have answered all the questions in the IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R) section:

 

  1. Login to your TurboTax Account 
  2. Click on the Search box on the top and type “1099-R”
  3. Click on “Jump to 1099-R” and you should see the “Your 1099-R Entries” screen

 

Also, you can verify if your retirement income shows up  correctly on your 1040:

  1. Click on "Tax Tools" in the left menu
  2. Click "Tools"
  3. Click "View Tax Summary" in the Tool Center window
  4. Click on "Preview my 1040" on the left
  5. Scroll down to line 4 or 5

Please be aware if you need to report the Coronavirus-related relief measures for retirement plan distributions, the Form 8915-E has not yet been finalized by the IRS. Therefore, the questions in regards to this relief are currently not available in the 1099-R section.

 

No date has been given by the IRS for the finalization of this document. TurboTax will update this section after the IRS releases the final version of form 8915-E and its instructions.
