Questions & answers
How do I report a 1099-R on my taxes?
You'll most likely report amounts from Form 1099-R as ordinary income on line 4b and 5b of the Form 1040. The 1099-R form is an informational return, which means you'll use it to report income on your federal tax return. If the form shows federal income tax withheld in Box 4, attach a copy – Copy B—to your tax return.
How much tax do I owe on 1099-R?
Funds distributed directly to the taxpayer are generally subject to a 20% federal income tax withholding. This means that the taxpayer must contribute additional funds in order to make up for the 20% that was withheld and sent to the IRS so that the rollover amount is equal to the total distribution.
Do you need a 1099-R to file taxes?
As long as you have the correct information, you can put it on your tax form without having the statement in hand. The one exception is the 1099-R, which tracks distributions from retirement plans and insurance contracts. You'll need to send that in with your tax return if income tax was withheld.
Does a 1099-R count as earned income?
Since income on Form 1099-R is unearned income, it does not count as earned income for the purposes of figuring the amount of the EIC. However, if the income on Form 1099-R is taxable, it may increase a taxpayer's adjusted gross income, which could reduce the amount of EIC he is eligible to receive.
