Do you mean that you are not able to download your IRS form 1099-R from DFAS?  Or something else?  Please clarify.

 

In TurboTax Online, follow these steps to report IRS form 1099-R

 

  • Down the left side of the screen, click on Federal.
  • Down the left side of the screen, click on Wages & income.
  • Scroll down to Retirement Plans Social Security.  Click the down arrow to the right.
  • Click Start / Revisit to the right of IRA 401K Pension Plan Withdrawals.
  • At the screen Did you get a 1099-R in 2025?, select Yes.
  • At the screen Choose all the situations that apply to you, make selection and Continue.
  • You will be given options: 
  •      to connect with your financial accounts, 
  •      to upload your form, or 
  •      type it in myself.

Since DFAS does not make the special files that allow you to directly import the data from DFAS into TTX.

You should select "Type it in myself"

 

(my opinion) I recommend you do NOT attempt to upload a Picture or PDF into the software....too many problems occur as the software "attempts" to interpret what it sees.  (someday it will be flawless, but not so far)
