Entering 1099-R on Turbotax Online Doesn't Work

[fd51]

When I enter my 1099-R information into turbotax online, it continues to say "needs review" and won't allow me to finalize my return. This happens with all of my 1099-Rs. What's the problem here? I've deleted and reentered my 1099-R information several times. Each time it accepts all of my info, but continues to say it "needs review" and won't pass the federal check because it says "needs review." This is very frustrating. Is there a software issue that needs to be addressed? Something is definitely wrong with the online version. By the way, I received an email a few days ago saying all tax forms I needed were ready for data entry.

Click on Needs Review and answer the question about whether you have ever taken a disaster withdrawal.

Of course I've already done that. I've completed the entire income section and all my 1099-Rs still show "needs review."

Then something else is wrong with it.  Try running a full REVIEW and see if it finds the error.

I have already run several full reviews. It still earmarks all of my 1099-Rs as “needs review.” I have entered everything correctly and when I go to review them again, nothing shows up as being incorrect. It’s an endless loop of nonsense.

@fd51 You will need to contact TurboTax support for this problem with the Form 1099-R when using the online editions.

I concur, I am having the same issues...I've contacted online help twice and they couldn't fix it.  I did all the review stuff, even deleted all the forms and started over.  No help at all.  At this point if the glitch isn't fixed within the month, I'll try another tax software.

While a good idea to review all data, especially if it was not manually entered, the error messge willl not prevent the user from filing their taxes.

I fixed it with the help on Turbo tax!!!       When at the screen with your 1099-R and they need to be verified HIT the icon next to the delete button and it will bring up 4 boxes. I hit the top left button for my 3 1099-R to fill out. Then hit Continue once or twice and that should FIX the issue . I Used that top left box each time for the other 2 1099-R I had to do. That top left box should get a green check box when you tap it, good luck
