Vanguard 1099-R & Form 8608

I have after-tax contributions to an IRA. In 2019, I took my first RMD and rolled over IRA money into my Roth IRA. Vanguard combined the RMD distribution and the rollover into one 1099-R. If I download or manually enter the 1099-R, TurboTax doesn't have a place to separate the two distributions the result is form 8606 isn't correctly filled out. 8606 Part II is blank and the 8606 Part I calculation is different using the combined numbers resulting in a higher taxable amount. What's the best way to address this issue?

 

Thanks

Vanguard 1099-R & Form 8608

TurboTax does allow you to split it.

 

Enter a 1099-R here:

Federal Taxes,
Wages & Income
I’ll choose what I work on (if that screen comes up),
Retirement Plans & Social Security,
IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R).

OR  Use the "Tools" menu (if online version under My Account) and then "Search Topics" for "1099-R" which will take you to the same place.

Be sure to choose which spouse the 1099-R is for if this is a joint tax return.
Be sure to pick the correct 1099-R type: Standard 1099-R, CSA-1099-R, CSF-1099-R, RRB-1099-R.

 

Answer the RMD question with the amount of the RMD.

If this was a rollover/conversion answer the question that you moved the money to another retirement account (can be the same account). The screen will open up with choices of where it was moved.   Then choose that you did a combination of things.  In the bottom box the amount converted to a Roth (that cannot include any distribution that was part of the RMD).

[NOTE: When you get to the "Your 1099-R Entries" screen where you can add another 1099-R, use "continue" to keep going as there are additional interview questions after that screen in most cases. You can always return as shown above.]

It will show as income on the summary screen which shows gross income, not taxable income.

The income will be reported on line 4a on the 1040 form with the word “ROLLOVER” next to it if it was a rollover.

The taxable amount converted to a Roth will go on line 4b.
