Retirement tax questions

I'm not sure what you would have entered regarding a Form 1099-R that would have caused TurboTax to prompt for an explanation statement in that section.  If you entered a code 1, 2 or 7 Form 1099-R with the IRA/SEP/SIMPLE box marked, make sure that box 2a shows the same amount as is in box 1.
