Collect your plan and account details
Gather statements for any early distributions (IRAs, 401(k)s, 403(b)s), plus distributions from education accounts (Coverdell ESA, 529/QTP) and ABLE accounts. Note dates, amounts, and why the money was used—this helps identify exceptions. If you made excess contributions to IRAs, ESAs, MSAs, or HSAs, have those contribution records ready.
Details worth checking
Form 5329 not attached (or missing signature when filed alone)
Submitting Form 5329 incorrectly—either not attaching it to your Form 1040 when required or failing to sign it when filed by itself—can cause processing delays and penalties.
Wrong early-distribution math or missing exception number (Part I)
Early distributions often owe a 10% additional tax unless an exception applies. Misstating totals or leaving out the exception number can overstate tax or lead to IRS notices.
Forgetting to carry additional tax to Schedule 2 (Form 1040) line 8
Even if Part I or Part II is correct, failing to include the additional tax on Schedule 2 means underreporting your overall liability—triggering letters and corrections.
Incorrect reporting of education/ABLE distributions (Parts II–VIII)
Distributions from Coverdell ESAs, 529/QTPs, or ABLE accounts can be partly non-taxable. Misclassifying amounts or missing qualified-expense details can create avoidable additional tax.
Excess IRA contributions not identified or miscalculated (Traditional/Roth)
Contributions over the annual limit (or ineligible contributions) can trigger an excise tax (commonly 6% per year) until corrected. Missing this wastes money and invites IRS follow-up.
Excess contributions in ESAs, Archer MSAs, or HSAs not handled
Going over limits in Coverdell ESAs, Archer MSAs, or HSAs can create additional taxes if not corrected on time. Manual math errors are common and costly.
Missing or wrong exception leads to overpaying the 10% tax
Some distributions qualify for exceptions (for example, certain first-time home, medical, or higher-education uses). If you do not claim the correct exception, you may overpay.
Arithmetic and line-reference errors across parts
Manually moving numbers between lines and parts increases the risk of math mistakes, which can trigger notices, delays, or penalties.
Paid preparer box incomplete
If you use a paid preparer, missing signatures or preparer details can stall processing and require rework.
