"Entered income in other income. fed tax on line 11"

The federal income tax withheld in Box 4, Form 1099-R, is not entered on Line 11. Follow the steps below to enter the amount from Box 4 (note the assumption is that you are allocating the withheld amount to beneficiary(ies)).

1) Look for "Int-Div Wks" in "Forms in My Return" (upper left side of screen).

2) If the "Int-Div Wks" is not present, then click "Open Form" (upper left), type "interest" in the search box, highlight "Interest and Dividend Worksheet", and click the Open Form button.

3) In the Part I-Interest Income section of the Interest and Dividend Worksheet (Int-Div Wks), enter the amount of the tax withheld in one of the boxes under the "Federal Income Tax Withheld" column. The total will be automatically generated. (see first screenshot).

4) You should now see a new form under "Forms in My Return" entitled "Tax Payments". Click the "Tax Payments" form so that it is visible on the screen.

5) In the Part II-Other Tax Payments section of the Tax Payments form, you should see that Line 1a and Line 1d both have the amount you entered as withheld (earlier in this process). Click Line 1c (Amount of Line 1a and 1b to allocate to beneficiaries) and enter the amount that appears on Line 1a. You should now see a "0" on Line 1d. (see second screenshot).

6) Check your 1041 to ensure that Lines 24-29 are zeroed out. 

7) Check your K-1(s) to ensure amounts on Line 13 (with a "B" code) appear.
