Retirement tax questions

Thanks.  I'm using the downloaded version of TT, but I can go to 'Forms' and see every form TT has in my return.

 

I have been through every form, slowly, line by line, and the amount that TT has input to my 1040 line 25c can be found absolutely nowhere.

 

I'm stumped.  TT has obviously pulled it from somewhere.  I'm in FL, so there's no state withholding.

 

On the 'Tax Payments' worksheet, the other 1099R withholds are correct, but TT has added a large amount on line 18a 'other withholding' under the 'Federal' column.............that is the amount TT transferred to the 1040 line 25c.

 

The TT program propagated the amount from somewhere, but I sure can't find it.

 

So, I decided to try to trick the program and reduced the amount on the 'Tax Payments' worksheet line 18a to 0 to see if it'd trigger an error in the final analysis.  It did not.

 

So, TT made a mistake initially somehow, and was OK with the additional withholding.  Analysis did not catch it, and analysis didn't show an error when I reduced it to zero.

 

Can't say my confidence is real high in the program at this point.  I'll go over the return several times before I submit it.
