The page in which I saw the error was a page for verification, not the initial data entry screen. I saw that verification page because I had done something wrong on the original data entry screen: I left out number in the state distribution box, 16, and that apparently was flagged by their algorithm. So they had me go over the numbers in the second screen. I'm not suggesting you made the same error I did, but maybe there's something inconsistent in your 1099R. They do seem to have an error in their form, but what I saw was an error in the verification page which shows up only if there's something amiss in the primary data entry screen.
