It sounds like you're looking at your 1040. Is that correct?
Box 5a is total pension withdrawals, and 5b is the taxable amount.
In this case you are correct; 5a should not be larger than 5b.
I suggest you go back to your source documents and double check the posting of all of your 1099-R's.
Pay close attention to:
- Box 1 - Gross distribution
- Box 2 - Taxable amount.
If this does not resolver your problem, please write back and try to provide additional details.
