Deductions & credits

If the IRA is not an inherited IRA, none of the first four boxes under Inherited IRA or Type of IRA of TurboTax's 1099-R form are not permitted to be marked.

 

In fact, you should not be making ANY entries in forms mode of the desktop version.  You should be entering the Form 1099-R in step-by-step mode where TurboTax will guide you so that you do not mistakenly mark one of the boxes that indicate an inherited IRA.  If you rolled over the distribution, TurboTax will allow you to indicate that.  If you did not roll over the distribution, you should be paying taxes on the distribution.
