If you’ve reviewed, deleted, and re-entered your 1099-Rs, and even started your tax return over, but the entries still show "Needs Review," follow these steps to resolve the issue:
Steps to Resolve "Needs Review" for 1099-R:
- Verify Key 1099-R Details:
- Ensure all fields are entered correctly:
- Box 1 (Gross Distribution) and Box 2a (Taxable Amount) match the form.
- Pay special attention to Box 7 (Distribution Code): Check this code is accurate (e.g., "7" for Normal Distribution or "4" for Death Benefit).
- Confirm whether the distribution involves a Rollover or Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) and answer these questions completely.
- Clear Cookies and Cache:
- Log out of TurboTax.
- Clear your browser’s cookies and cache (usually under browser settings).
- Log back into TurboTax and recheck your entries.
- Manually Re-enter 1099-Rs:
- Avoid using import tools.
