@kaieravwsaldfh , you mentioned some Form 1099-R details, but not enough to determine which Form 1099-R you are referring to. Certainly the Form 1099R that has the IRA/SEP/SIMPLE box marked should have box 1 equal to box 2a and the IRA SEP/SIMPLE box marked. But what about the Form 1099-R that does not have this box marked. That Form 1099-R should have $16,000 in box 1, the pre-tax amount in box 2a and the after-tax amount in box 5 with no marking of box 2b Taxable amount not determined. What are the dollar amounts shown on this Form 1099-R that has the IRA/SEP/SIMPLE box unmarked?
I never suggested entering $6,000 as a regular traditional IRA contribution. I said that you should be entering nothing under Deductions and Credits with regard to these transactions.
