Question
My client received a 1099-R as a government retiree. Why is the taxable portion being reduced due to Box 5?
My client received a 1099-R from a government retirement account. Box 5 Employee Contributions/Designated ROTH Contributions and Insurance Premiums shows an amount. "PSO" shows next to the amount on the 1040 line 5b and the taxable portion is being reduced. He is not a retired public safety officer. Why is the taxable amount being reduced? Is this a programming issue??
