1099-R

[warewaware]

I entered my 1099-R, including my federal income tax withheld (4), but the system is still stating I owe a 10% penalty. Do I enter my 1099-R box 4 information in payments made in "estimated federal taxes"?

No, the withholdings shown in box 4 will be taken into account on your return just like withholdings reported on a W-2 would be.

The 10% penalty is for taking an early distribution from a retirement account without having a valid exception to claim.  This penalty is in addition to the distribution itself being included as part of your taxable income.  TurboTax will show you a list of possible exceptions to the early distribution penalty.  If any of these apply to your situation, enter the amount that was used for the exception in the box beside the applicable category to reduce your penalty.

Did you plug the code in box 7 into TT correctly? That would be how TT will account for the penalty or no penalty; what was the code anyway?  and yes if the 1099-R is wrong you can manually edit the code in forms mode ctrl-f

due to bugs, TurboTax is wrongly penalizing RMD .

to avoid wrongful penalty, for each 1099-R, tell TurboTax that the distributed amount is the calculated required amount.
OR

to avoid wrongful penalty, for each 1099-R, tell TurboTax that the calculated required amount is -0-.
