    If you did not close on the house in 2019 then you do not have homeownership deductions to use on a 2019 tax return.  

     

    However, if you took money out of a 401k in 2019 you are going to have to enter a 1099R for that withdrawal from your retirement account.  If you are under the age of 59 1/2 you have a 10% early withdrawal penalty as well as ordinary income tax for that withdrawal.

     

    To enter your retirement income, Go to  Federal> Wages and Income>Retirement Plans and Social Security>IRA  401 k) Pension Plan Withdrawals to enter your 1099R.
