1099R

Taxpayer and spouse each had IRA accounts. Taxpayer died in 2023, spouse is beneficiary. In April 2024, deceased's account was liquidated and assets transferred to spouse's IRA account. Spouse received a 1099R, box 7 code 4,  with boxes 1 and 2a showing    63,000 and box 2b checked Taxable Amount Not Determined. Broker claims that Form 5498 will be sufficient to show this was a spousal rollover. Should I put zero in Box 2a, or put $63,000 as shown and a negative miscellaneous income  with a statement of explanation?

    You should enter the 1099-R as it appears and use the indirect rollover to other than a Roth IRA field in the Rollovers section of the 1099-R input.

    Thank You. Should I include a Statement of Explanation or not necessary?

    Not necessary... no one at the IRS reads 'em.
