When you start receiving a benefit payment from your WRS account, you will most likely owe state and federal income taxes on all or a portion of that amount. You will receive an income tax form from ETF for each year that you receive a distribution of funds from your WRS account. If you are a U. You do not need to request this information, it is sent automatically and provides the information you will need to complete your tax return.
If you find incorrect information on your R, contact ETF as soon as possible. If you have multiple WRS annuity accounts for example, you receive a monthly payment from your own WRS account and as a beneficiary of another account , you will receive a separate R for each account. It is important that you file copies of all your R forms with your annual tax returns, if required by the taxing authority. The following information is intended to help you understand your R. If you need more information, contact the IRS or your professional tax advisor.
Distribution code G on your R indicates that your WRS benefit was rolled over to another qualified plan. However, rollovers to Roth IRAs are subject to income taxes in the year the rollover is made.
Each distribution code requires a separate R form. If you received more than one distribution type, you will receive more than one R. If you are not a U.

Tax information center : IRS : Forms. What is the R form? What info does Form R include? Box 1 reports the total amount of distribution from a retirement plan or annuity, this is the gross amount of dollars you received from the plan. It may be taxable or not depending on many factors. Box 2 reports the taxable amount of the distribution as reported by the payer.
Thus, the retirement plan or annuity has determined what the amount to include in income is. This amount should be reported on line 4b or 5b of the Form Level I have two R forms. I did not accept any money from them.
I rolled it over to my Fidelity account without taking any money. The Payer assures me the distribution was made to a qualified plan. I strongly believe this is a non-taxable yet Turbo Tax is treating the data I entered with a full tax hit. Should I set the taxable amount to zero?
Your best course of action would be to ask the payer to issue a corrected R. If they refuse, then I suppose you could just enter 0 in box 2a, as if the R had been filled out correctly.
If you do that, you might get an inquiry from the IRS later on. Keep detailed records of your contacts with the payer on this issue. If an initial phone contact is not successful, it would probably be a good idea to make your request in writing, with a return receipt, and keep a copy of your letter and any response that you get.
Thank you so much, super user! I actually got a form R and turbotax is asking me questions that are not on the R. Do you think I need to complete a G. Answer: I received a R instead of G. I can't complete it like the IRS wants me to.
