Get 2406r Form

When you withdraw money from your Roth IRA, you must report it on Form 8606, Nondeductible IRAs. This form helps you track your basis in regular Roth contributions and conversions. It also shows if you've withdrawn earnings.

Retirement accounts, including Traditional, Roth, and SEP IRAs, will receive a Form 1099-R only if a distribution (withdrawal) was made during the year. If you made contributions (deposits) to your IRA account for the tax year, you will receive a Form 5498 detailing those contributions in May.

You will receive a Form 1099-R when you make a withdrawal from a IRA, 401(k) or other retirement account. This form includes information such as: the amount you withdrew, how much is taxable (if that was determined), any taxes that were withheld, and a code that shows what type of distribution it was.

A separate Form 1099-R must be used to report the total annual distribution from a designated Roth account. Distributions allocable to an in-plan Roth rollover (IRR).

You'll most likely report amounts from Form 1099-R as ordinary income on line 4b and 5b of the Form 1040. The 1099-R form is an informational return, which means you'll use it to report income on your federal tax return.

Use Form 8606 to report: Nondeductible contributions you made to traditional IRAs. Distributions from traditional, SEP, or SIMPLE IRAs, if you have ever made nondeductible contributions to traditional IRAs. Conversions from traditional, SEP, or SIMPLE IRAs to Roth IRAs.
