Using q06p

Took a required IRA distribution; the brokerage broke it into 3 withdrawals:
1. the am't that went to me (it was transferred to a taxable acc't but there
is no way to show this in downloaded form just the neg in the ira & a
matching cash deposit in the other acc't)
2. fed withholding
3. state withholding

All were categorized as IRA withdrawals. In my tt world that doesn't work.
Would appreciate any thoughts on how to show this & which tax line item to
use for the net distribution. I find 401k categories but not IRA. Appreciate
any ideas.

In your IRA account you need to set 'Transfers Out: 1099-R:Total IRA
taxable distrb.'
IRA Account Summary View > Edit Account Details > Tax Schedule Info

The setting for 'Transfers Out' effectively categorizes the total
wuthdrawal [1+2+3 in your case] as taxable income.

The with-holding categories are:
1099-R:IRA federal tax withheld and
1099-R:IRA state tax withheld.

To make this work properly in QW I would transfer the total withdrawal
[1+2+3] to the taxable account. In the receiving [taxable] account,
open the transaction in edit mode; add splits for the two withholding
items [negative amounts] which subtract from the 'deposit' leaving you
with the net.
You do not categorize the net - it is simply the result of the total
withdrawal minus the withho;ding entries.

You must include the withholding amounts in the 'Transfered Out' value
in order for QW to properly report taxable income. If you enter the
withholding as a Misc Expense from the IRA account, QW will not will
not include these in the total withdrawal figures.

Finaaly, memorize and schedule this transaction with the splits.

I have outlined how I handle mine and my QW data agrees with the
year-end 1099-R provided by the FI.

I ment to say that:

Tthe tax line assignments for the withholding categories are:
1099-R.... etc.

Great, thanks -- I had thought that might be the best way -- delete the 3
downloads & create 1 am't to transfer, hated to start fooling around & make
a mess.
