Retirement tax questions

Entering 0 in box 2a is not a mistake if you directed the IRA withdrawal to go 100% to charity.

 

This is an error in TurboTax. It can deal correctly if you donate an IRA withdrawal only partially to charity, but if it all went to charity, the the taxable income is 0.

 

See IRS instructions on how to report IRA withdrawals directly to a charity.
