Form 1099-R - Reporting Other Information
1

Issuers of Forms 1099-R use Box 8 to report other information they consider important. TaxAct does not support the transfer of an amount entered in Box 8 Other' of Forms 1099-R to anywhere else in the return, since the appropriate tax treatment cannot be determined.

Verify if the Box 8 amount needs to be reported on the tax return or if it is just for informational purposes. If the amount needs to be reported on the return, select the appropriate TaxAct Q&A topic to enter it directly on the appropriate form.
