Best answer by

The taxable amount of the distribution is less than the gross distribution because a portion of the distribution was a nontaxable return of premiums. The amount attributable to a return of premiums will probably be shown in box 5 of the Form 1099-R.

Enter the 1099-R exactly as shown on the printed form. If there's any more info that TurboTax needs, you'll have some follow up questions.

A life insurance policy is a non-qualified plan.
