Form 1099-R: taxable amount is $0 but gross distribution amount was added to income

Laurence

Hi,

I have entered my Form 1099-R with Box 1 (Gross Distribution) : $405 and Box 2a (Taxable amount) : $0 and the software added $405 to my taxable income. I think it's not right but I don't know how to correct it. Thank you

What kind of plan was the distribution taken from? Why is the distribution not taxable? What code is in Box 7 of the 1099R, and did you enter it correctly? Is the "taxable amount not determined" box checked?

Laurence

Distribution code (Box 7) is W

Box 2b Taxable amount not determined has only ( )

If you put a W in the box 7 field, you should be able to make the 2a field a zero. Is it not allowing you to do this?

Laurence

yes I did put a zero in 2a, but I saw the $405 in the AGI

Hi Laurence,

Double check to make sure you have entered all boxes correctly on your form into the software program. Uncommon boxes that are easily missed include 8 - 12.

By including $0 in box 2a your distribution is non-taxable.

I have a 1099-R distribution that should not have a tax impact by the nature of it. However the gross distribution keeps flowing through. For this example, gross distribution was $10,000 and box taxable income not determine was selected, and had a code 7 distribution. I went ahead and put in the gross distribution amount. I then selected taxable amount not determined and put in $0 for taxable amount as it should be. However, it keeps showing the gross distribution of $10,000 as taxable towards AGI. What am I missing to show this as $0?

Hello justaguy,

There are a few reasons why it still may show as taxable. Did you see if the IRA box is checked, is this a rollover or a conversion, what is the basis of your contributions, etc?

I think the best thing to do would be to contact customer support and provide details about what kind of distribution this was, if you did anything with it, if it was pension income or IRA, etc. That will help them know what to look for on your return to see if anything was entered in incorrectly.
