Adding or Maintaining an IRA Beneficiary Distribution

Related Topics

The IRA Beneficiary Distribution Maintenance dialog box lets you maintain a distribution in preparation for your year-end tax reporting.

To add a new beneficiary distribution, click the New button on the IRA Beneficiary Distribution List dialog box. The IRA Beneficiary Distribution Maintenance dialog box will appear with blank fields for you to complete. You should only add a distribution using the IRA Beneficiary Distribution Maintenance dialog box if you need to make a correction. For normal beneficiary distributions, you should always use the Transactions - IRA Withdrawal to Beneficiary tab to ensure that the balance and distribution field values on the IRAs tab are updated correctly. Portico uses the field values on the IRAs tab for IRS reporting.

To maintain a distribution, click the Details icon button on the IRA Beneficiary Distribution List dialog box to display the IRA Beneficiary Distribution Maintenance dialog box. Prior year distributions can be viewed until they are purged on the first Saturday in April of the following year. All fields on the IRA Beneficiary Distribution Maintenance dialog box will be protected for prior year distributions. Current year distributions can be maintained until December 31 of the current year.

How do I? and Field Help

When adding a new beneficiary distribution, enter the beneficiary’s taxpayer identification number (SSN, EIN, or ITIN) that will be reported to the IRS in the TIN field (Length: 9 numeric/Keyword: S1). You can enter the taxpayer identification number when adding a new beneficiary distribution. This field cannot be changed when maintaining a distribution. Portico partially masks taxpayer ID numbers. If you are assigned to the Portico – User Can View/Maintain TIN security group or a credit union-defined security group with the Portico – User Can View TIN permission or the Portico – User Can Maintain TIN permission, an eye indicator will appear within the field to indicate that you have permission to view the taxpayer ID number. You can click inside the field to show the taxpayer ID. When you tab out of the field, the taxpayer ID will be masked. The taxpayer ID will remain unmasked as long as the field has focus.

Click the Effective Date down arrow to select the effective date of the transaction from the pop-up calendar or enter the date in MM/DD/YYYY format. The TIN field and Effective Date field cannot be changed when maintaining a distribution.
