Box 12A on a 1099R is state income taxes withheld..this is never more than your gross distribution. Normally this box is blank on a 1099R. Do you possibly mean Box 2a, which is the taxable amount of your distribution? If so, then that amount should always be smaller than the gross distribution in Box 2.,
Checked your 1099R to see if you have these anomalies. You may need to get a corrected 1099R from the issuer just so you can report it correctly in your tax return.
