Pension Not Showing as Income on Federal Taxes

My father has been getting a pension for over 20 years from the State of CT (he lives in Florida). On his 1099-R Box 2a is blank. I reviewed his taxes for 2021 and 2022 and his pension has always been included as income. I entered the 1099-R has printed (zero in Box 2a) but I can't get TurboTax to see it as Income based on the questions that I answer. I read through all the online help and don't see what I'm doing wrong. I can enter the amount in Box 2a for the 1099-R but they say don't do that - the questions will sort it out.   I have the same problem with his SSA forms. Thanks!
