Retirement tax questions

Is there an amount in box 2a for the taxable amount of the distribution on the Form 1099-R?  If so, that amount will be on the Form 1040 on Line 4b.

 

The Social Security benefits reported from the SSA-1099 should be shown on the Form 1040 Line 6 and the taxable amount, if any, will be on Line 6b.

 

What is shown on the Form 1040 Lines 4a,4b,6a and 6b?
