Question

How do I get past the error: "Type of account should not be selected for this distribution". No matter which option I select it keeps getting the error. What do I do?

Options are "No entry", "IRA", "403b", "Other". Doesn't matter which I pick the same error keeps coming up.

    Do you have code 7D in box 7? if yes, then please see Why am I getting an error when entering Form 1099-R box 7 code 7D?

    Please use Why am I getting an error when entering Form 1099-R box 7 code 7D? to sign up for updates.

     

     

    Workarounds from dmertz are:

     

    For code 7D, omit the code 7 and enter only the code D.

     

    For code 4D, indicate that the decedent died after December 31, 1951.
