Did you enter the 1099R under income? A 1099R doesn't show contributions. It shows Distributions. What code is in box 7? Sounds like you did a rollover. That is not a new contribution. Are you sure you took it out of a personal savings account and not from another existing IRA?
Enter a 1099R under
Federal Taxes Tab or Personal (Home & Business)
Wages & Income at the top
Then scroll way down to Retirement Plans and Social Security,
Then IRA, 401(k), Pension Plans (1099R) - click Start or Revisit
There are 4 boxes. Be sure to pick the right box for the kind of 1099R you got.
If you are filing a Joint return be sure to pick which person it is for.
Don't enter the bank or broker name and don't try to import it. It is just as fast and easy to manually enter it. At the bottom pick - Change How I enter my Form
Then on the next screen pick I'll Type it in Myself
