Do not recognize and don't know why they are there is the issue. Some possibilities:

  • pensions - could be using the simplified method - calculating the box 2a taxable amount for you
  • rollover -you may have rolled over money from an IRA or 401k
  • qualified charitable distribution -you may have indicated some money went from RIA to charity.
  • error in importing the forms/ typing it in - double check the actual entries against the forms
  • error in answering questions after entry

You can look at each 1099-R inside the program by viewing your forms.  Compare the forms in your hand to the forms inside the program. Ask yourself these questions:

  • Did you really rollover IRA amounts taken from traditional? Does line 1 show your actual traditional IRA distribution?
  • Were any of the pensions missing the taxable amount in box 2a? Does line 22 look correct or missing  income or ?
  • Box 37 and 38 are federal and state tax withheld, those numbers should match your forms exactly.
  • Line 44 is the RMD for 2025. If you are old enough to have an RMD, it is listed.

If you are using the desktop program,  in forms mode, you can right click and data source to see where numbers are coming from on those 1099-R forms.
