BNY Mellon Pershing.  The CMA account is an asset title and BNY Mellon Wealth Management is a division of BNY Mellon.  Pershing is a 3rd party asset management group.  They should be issuing the 1099R.    After you have logged in and are in your return in TurboTax Online:

 

  • Go to Search at the top of the screen.
  • Enter Form 1099-R in the search box. 
  • You will see a Jump To function that will take you to the 1099-R input screens. 
  • Then add a new 1099R and manually enter your 1099R.

At the financial services screens, click "Change how I enter my form" then "Type it myself"

 

 

The 1099 Series are informational reporting forms submitted to the IRS by third parties. The IRS then matches the form information to your tax return to insure all income is reported and taxed. If you do not include a 1099 received from a third party on your tax return, you will receive a notice from the IRS asking why. This is the CP2000 matching notice. If you receive this notice from the IRS, make sure and respond by the date indicate on the notice.
