5a shows an amount, but 5b should be 0, how do I fix this?
Best answer by DoninGA

Are you referring to the Form 1040 Line 5a and 5b for pension or annuity income?

If so, then delete the Form 1099-R that you entered and re-enter manually.  If this was from an IRA then you Must check the box IRA/SEP/SIMPLE on the Form 1099-R and the amounts will be entered on Lines 4a and 4b.

 

Enter 1099-r in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen. Click on Jump to 1099-R
