IRA Withdrawal

I am trying to figure out how to show my yearly IRA withdrawal and have it show up as income at tax time.

I can transfer it to my checking account or the Money Market Fund, but it does not seem to register as income.

Any help appreciated.

Open the Summary View for the IRA account.

In the Account Attributes section - click on Options and select Set Tax Attributes.

In the pop-up window set Transfers Out: to '1099-R:Total IRA taxable distrib'.

Run QW's Tax Schedule Report to verify response - look under the 1099-R section for taxable income reporting.

I have the same problem as SunCityCal and I tried your suggestion and it did not work. Any additional suggestions?

Set the custom date to Jan 1, 2007 and see what happens.

You jogged my memory - Are you making the distribution by transfering from the IRA to another account? If so what type [cash, brokerage]

As I recall, there is a problem getting this to work when transfering from an IRA to a regular brokerage account - in QW06 & QW07. Does work ok when transfering to a cash account.

There is a thread on this in this forum - about a year ago. Bug report was filed at that time.

Thanks changing the date to 1/12007 fixed the problem. Anyone know what the difference between a 1099R Total IRA gross distrib. and a Total IRA taxable distri. is?

Not an expert on this, but, looking at a recent copy of of one of my

1099-R's; Box 1 of the 1099-R is labled 'Gross distribution' and Box 2a is labled 'Taxable distribution'. In my case the values in both boxes are the same.

Suspect these really become significant if you have a retirement account that contains some portion of non-taxable funds; e.g., a 401k for which you have made both pre-tax and after-tax contributions.

I get a check from my IRA, I deposit it and categorize it as income:IRA.

That is indeed the difference; I have both a pension & an IRA that has both $'s on which taxes have been paid & tax deferred $'s. The IRA is a little tricky at tax time as you must do the calculations each year. The pension is calculated as part of the 1099R.
