Pension carrying to line 7 and should not be
🔍 How this affects Form 1099-R and your 1040
This article explains what to check on Form 1099-R (box 7) and how that information carries to your 1040.
📊 Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Check whether the pension is disability-related
On Form 1099-R, look for the box below box 7 that says Check if disability and whether the taxpayer is disabled.
If the taxpayer is under the minimum age for retirement, disability pensions are carried to line 7 of the 1040 and are considered earned income (per IRS instructions). If you’re unsure, refer to IRS Publication 17.
Step 2: Update the disability indicator if it does not apply
If the pension is not for disability, remove the X from the box below box 7.
Once removed, the amount will carry to line 16 of the 1040.
