lump sum distribution error did not have one, no1099r

Lump sum for what?  Are you referring to a lump sum payment for Social Security?   That would be on a SSA1099, not on a 1099R.  

 

 

And ......did you take money out of a retirement account in 2023?  If so, you should have a 1099R from the bank or financial institution that handles your retirement account.

 

 

Please clarify what you are asking about.  

We took no lump sum distribution from any bank or anyone else. Social Security is a monthly payment as usual.We got no 1099R from anybody. Is there any way to ask the Government  or Turbo Tax what it thinks We should have? Wife took a lump sum payment when She retired but that was 10 years ago or more. No mention of it as it went into an IRA.

There is a box for lump sum distribution. I had it checked "no." Just for giggles I clicked it "yes" and waited a minute and clicked to back to "no" and it seemed to work. Now if Uncle Sam agrees.
