Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Why do you think they are being taxed differently?  There is only one tax on all your income combined.  Did you notice the tax change when you entered each 1099R?  

When you enter one taxable transaction, you can't just watch the monitor.  You increased your overall adjusted gross income and with that come many other changes in your return, not just the incremental tax on the one transaction.

 

Like for example it increased your AGI and that would decrease some deductions if you itemized on Schedule A.  And by increasing your AGI it might reduce some credits you were getting like EIC.  And can make more of any Social Security taxable.
