Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I suggest reviewing your entries for the form you received for this event, 1099-R, I presume.

In particular check to ensure the entry for Box 7, distribution code is correct. 

For code meanings see https://www.hrblock.com/tax-center/irs/forms/reporting-form-1099-r-amounts-as-income/ 

To find the 1099-R :

Federal Return > Wages and income > "I'll choose what I want to work on" (button) > Scroll down to "Retirement Plans and Social Security" > Find the line for 10099-R > Click the "Update" or "Start" button on the right side of that line > Follow the conversation and enter the required data.

If the event is as you describe, Box 7, distribution code should be code = G.  If not, contact your financial institution to determine why.
