📋 Understanding Form 1099-R and Schedule R

When Someone is Marked as Disabled

If a taxpayer receives a 1099-R and is marked as disabled, you must enter the taxable amount properly.

1. Check if the taxpayer has a "Disabled" status marked on their 1099-R form
2. If marked as disabled AND the distribution is taxable, you MUST enter an amount on Line 11 of Schedule R
3. This amount represents the taxable portion of the retirement distribution
4. Leaving this field blank when required will cause issues with your return

When No 1099-Rs are Marked as Disabled

If you don't have any 1099-Rs marked as disabled, you may not need Schedule R at all.

1. If NO 1099-R forms are marked as "Disabled" and Schedule R is not being used, no action is needed
2. You may need to wait for a software update to handle certain scenarios
3. Alternatively, go to the "Main Information Sheet" in SureFire
4. Check if "Disabled" is marked anywhere on the main information
5. If marked incorrectly, unmark it

How to Access the Main Information Sheet

If you need to unmark the disabled status, follow these steps.

1. In SureFire, open the client's return
2. Navigate to the "Main Information Sheet" (usually in client information section)
3. Look for any "Disabled" checkbox or field
4. If marked and incorrect, click to unmark it
5. Save your changes
