Retirement tax questions

Joseph,

Thanks for your response. I appreciate your help.

On my 1099, line 2a (taxable amount), is blank. So I entered the taxable amount ($4709) manually in TurboTax. Yet the program still uses the full distribution ($6036) on the Form 1040. 

This puzzles me because last year's program used the correct amount without my intervention.

Do you think it's a problem if I use $4709 in line 1 (total received) instead of $6036? My tax calculation would be accurate but the means of getting there wouldn't be.
