The IRS instructions for line 4a are a bit perplexing.
Many taxpayers think that line 4a should be the total of all IRA distributions and line 4b the taxable total, but that's not how the instructions actually read.
In some cases, the IRA distribution is added to line 4a and in some cases it is not.
Read the line 4a instructions at the IRS website, if you want to know more.
