Question

Why does TT say to only include the RMD amount for this IRA account? It appears to not allow to take my full RMD for all accounts in only one IRA account. Is that right?

I'm working on my 1099-R from the only distribution I took in 2024. My full RMD came from that IRA and I have no other 1099-R's to work with. How do I take my full RMD in one IRA? TT isn't allowing me to do so.

    Yes, if you have multiple IRAs then you can take all of your IRA RMDs from only one IRA account. Please see Can an account owner just take a RMD from one account for additional information.

    3. Click on “Jump to 1099-R” and enter your 1099-R
    4. Continue until "How much of the $XXXXX was a RMD?" screen and select "Only part of this distribution was a RMD" and enter the amount of RMD /or select "The entire distribution was an RMD" (if this distribution includes RMD for other IRA accounts then you included the amount here)
    5. Enter the RMD amount for this account on the "Let's get more information about your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD)" screen
    6. On the "Review your 1099-R info" screen click "Continue"
    7. On the "Did You Miss a Required Distribution From Any Retirement Accounts?" screen select "An IRA..."
    8. On the "Total RMD for all other IRAs" screen enter the RMD from your other IRAs (where you didn't take a distribution from).
