Yes, that's the proper spot to enter it. There is one of the Follow-up questions that asks you if it was a Qualifed or Non-qualified retirement account....military 1099-R from DFAS is Non-qualified..
_______________________
Other than that, No way for us to know for sure, since we can't see what other income you entered..
Like........what is your taxable income in line 15 of the form 1040. IF you consider ALL your income, the 8% federal tax withholding may not be enough to cover the tax on the $17,983 if you are in a tax bracket in the >20% area. AND more income can reduce other credits too.
Just make sure you enter all the boxes on your 1099-R into the same boxes on the Software form....especially the prior withholding $$.
