Did anyone else notice incorrect box numbers???

Their online form lists Box 2 as Federal Income Tax Withheld. However, on my Federal 1099R, Box 2 is Taxable Amount and Box 4 is Federal Income Tax Withheld. Has anyone else come across this issue?

In the TurboTax Online version tested, it shows Form 1099-R, Box 2a as the taxable amount, and Box 4 is the federal withholding amount. 

 

Please update with an image if possible or additional details and we will help.

Are you entering a 1099R in the wrong place in the software?  You do not enter it as a W-2.

 

To enter your retirement income, Go to  Federal> Wages and Income>Retirement Plans and Social Security>IRA  401 k) Pension Plan Withdrawals to enter your 1099R.

Thank you.  I believe that was my error.  It is a 1099R and I was trying to enter it incorrectly.
