What's new for Form 5329 for tax year 2023:

  • Certain corrective distributions not subject to 10% early distribution tax. Beginning on December 29, 2022, the 10% additional tax on early distributions will not apply to a corrective IRA distribution, which consists of an excessive contribution (a contribution greater than the IRA contribution limit) and any earnings allocable to the excessive contribution, as long as the corrective distribution is made on or before the due date (including extensions) of the income tax return
  • Qualified disaster distributions. The additional tax on early distributions doesn't apply to qualified disaster distributions nor does it apply to qualified disaster recovery distributions. See Publication 590-B for more details.
  • Maximum age for traditional IRA contributions. The age restrictions for contributions to a traditional IRA has been eliminated.

How do I enter a 1099-R in ProSeries?

The distribution codes are found in box 7 of Form 1099-R and in an unnumbered box on Forms CSA-1099-R and CSF-1099-R. Form RRB-1099-R does not show a distribution code on the form, but the proper distribution code must be entered on the worksheet for proper treatment of the distribution on the tax return.

The distribution codes describe the type of distribution. The program relies on these codes to make the correct calculations. There may be only one code or a combination of two codes, as appropriate.

The Distribution Code(s) are indicated on the 1099-R and indicate under what circumstances the distribution was made.

Code P advises payees that the earnings are taxable in the year in which the contributions were made. If the Form 1099-R has a distribution code P or code R, the distribution is reported on the tax return for the year immediately preceding the year shown on the Form. Sometimes taxpayers will receive notice from their employers letting them know the transaction and amount in time for it to be reported in the original return, but otherwise, it will have to be amended later.

If the Form 1099-R  is a year 2023 form, you enter this in 2022.

  1. Open the 2022 return.
  2. Open the 1099-R Worksheet.
  3. Enter the information from the 1099-R received.
  4. Scroll down to page 2 Additional Distribution Information. 
  5. Check box A5 Code P or R on a 2023 Form 1099-R.
  6. Any Taxable Amount will now show on the as Wages, salaries, tips, etc.

    A 2023 Form 1099-R with code "R" does not need to be reported on the tax return, but the amount from box 1 should be included in the explanation statement for the recharacterization.

Starting in tax year 2022 the IRS has redesigned the 1040 line 1. Instead of a single line 1 there is now 1a through 1i showing the breakdown of earned income from various sources. This will not change your data entry or calculations but it will change how amounts are displayed on the 1040. See the 1040 instructions for more information.

When you have a taxable distribution from an non-IRA account that has code 8 it is listed on the 1040 line 1 instead of line 4 per the 1040 instructions.

If code 8 is used on a 1099-R for an IRA this shows on the 1040 as a normal distribution.

ProSeries will not carry the taxable amount to Form 5329, Additional Taxes on Qualified Plans (Including IRAs) and Other Tax-Favored Accounts.

See IRS Publication 590-B and Form 1099-R Instructions.

Mark the box for RRB-1099-R at the top of the form. This information will then flow to Line 5a of Form 1040. It's also possible to use the Simplified Method for calculating the portion of the distribution that is tax-free. To do this, scroll to page 3 of the 1099-R Worksheet and begin by entering the Starting date of annuity. ProSeries will calculate the taxable and nontaxable portions and place those values on line 5a and 5b of Form 1040.
