    If you didn't take your RMD, TurboTax will fill out Form 5329 for you and attach it to your tax return.  To do this, follow the steps below:

     

    1. Sign in to your return - Continue in Wages & Income.
    2. Search for 1099-R and use the Jump to link and answer the questions about disaster distributions.
    3. On the Did You Miss a Required Distribution From Any Retirement Accounts? page, choose the type of account you have.
    4. Continue through the questions about your RMD
    5. We can help you file a waiver if you have a reasonable cause.
