Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Is it increasing your state or federal refund?  In general, a 1099-R distribution would decrease or not affect your return unless you had taxes withheld.  

Did you enter it in the correct spot?  As a 1099-R or did you enter it as a W-2?

Where do I enter my 1099-R?

The best way to determine why your refund went up instead of down would be to write down the numbers from your 1040 with the 1099-R's in place, then delete them and compare the numbers on your form 1040 to the numbers you wrote down.  You can also print it out (if you already paid for the program)
