Question

1099-R Type of Account

I received a 1099-R for a Total Distribution in 2024 from an Annuity I inherited from my Mother in 2022.  When I enter the information turbotax takes the information without issue, but at the Federal Review I am prompted to enter a 'Type of Account' with the options being a 403b, IRA, or Other. 

 

I chose 'Other' (and I have tried IRA with the same result)

 

After accepting the change, I am prompted to review the 1099-R again.  This time, the guide indicates that a Type of Account should not be entered for this entry, so I set it to 'No Entry' and hit 'Continue'.  

 

After changing to 'No Entry', I am prompted to review and prompted to enter a 'Type of Account' again.  The process starts over. 

 

Please let me know what I need to do to properly answer the questions regarding my 1099-R.

 

Thank You,

 

Robert

When asked when your mother was born, indicate that she was born after December 31, 1951 even if that's untrue.  For a code 4D Form 1099-R, TurboTax shouldn't even be asking when your mother was born.

Thank You!!  That change resolved the issue.

Exact same issue here. Inherited annuity ( continuation optioni) getting the same error.

If the code in Box 7 is both 7 and D, omit the 7, and just use D.   @josephsestrich

Dawn,

 

What would your suggestion be if the number and letter is 4D? Hoping turbo tax can fix this.

The same thing happens to me.  Were you ever to resolve it

Look up higher in this post. You will see that I found a workaround. Also says it was fixed? I got mine accepted before the fix, if it works. I have not got my refund sent yet so still not sure if it is all ok or not.
