Early disabled Roth IRA distribution

Avs19
Level 5

Hi,

My client recieved a 1099R, code J for an early distribution he made last year. According to publication 590-B, the distibution is not subject to tax or penalty. Does anyone know how to notate this in Proseries?

Thanks

Sorry I missed in the title that it said disabled.  Disregard what I said before.  I think you have to go to the 1099-R worksheet and check the box that is below 19-1 that says to check if Qualified.

It is subject to penalty unless they had basis.  You want to find out the cumulative basis and enter it on the IRA Info worksheet.

30K distribution with 10K in basis. 

Am I missing something in the IRS publication 590-B where it says that if you're disabled, than an early distribution from a Roth IRA pays no tax or penalty?

Thanks

Does entering the exempt amount in Question 1, column a line c of form 5329 work?

That takes care of the penalty but it's still taxing the 30K. I'm not too concerned about the basis at this point because it's only 10k.

Actually, that did do it. I just had to check the box that he openned the IRA account before 2018.

Thanks for your help!
