Thank you for the reply. However, it IS the same income. Meaning, the amount I earned from my pension is indicated on my W2 and on the 1099-R is the same amount. As such, my 1040 shows that amount on Line 1 and again on Line 5a and the sum of both is included on Line 15. It is literally being counted as income twice and my tax liability (being calculated by TurboTax) is based on the sum of those numbers. I tested this by deleting the 1099-R from TurboTax completely and the presented tax liability was reduced accordingly. There is no way that one should have twice the tax liability on one source of income. This appears to be a calculation error by TurboTax. I've used TurboTax for at least 15 years with no know calculation errors. This seems to be the first. Can someone please explain this?
