How do I enter traditional IRA distributions and rollovers?

Follow these steps to report a Traditional IRA distribution:

  1. From the Input Return tab, click Income on the left-side menu.
  2. From the Income submenu, select Pensions, IRAs (1099-R).
  3. Click the Details button at the end of the desired row.
  4. Complete the Payer Information section.
  5. Enter boxes 1-11 as they appear on the Form 1099-R received.
  6. Select a code from the Distribution code #1 drop-down menu.
  7. Check the IRA/SEP/SIMPLE box.
  8. Enter the Gross distribution amount.
  9. Enter the Taxable amount.
  10. Enter any Federal income tax withholding or State income tax withholding amounts that apply.
  11. Click the Details button.
  12. Enter the Payer Information. The following entries are mandatory if any federal or state tax was withheld:
    • Federal identification number
    • Name of payer
    • Street address
    • City
    • State and Zip Code (if U.S. address)
    • Region, ZIP code, and Country (if foreign address)
  13. If any state tax was withheld, scroll down to the Electronic Filing section.
  14. Enter the two-letter state abbreviation, in all caps, in (13) ST.
  15. Enter the (13) State identification number.

Follow these steps to report a Traditional IRA rollover:

  1. Enter the distribution as you normally would, using the steps above.
    • Do not reduce the amount entered in Taxable amount by the rollover amount.
  2. Scroll down to the Rollovers section.
  3. Enter the rollover amount in To other than a Roth IRA.

ProConnect will subtract the rollover amount from the taxable amount, and carry the difference to Form 1040, line 4b (line 15b in prior years).
