Line 5a is not including taxable income from 1099R for RMDs from Traditional IRAs

I have entered the 1099R info and answered related questions.  The amount in box 1 and 2(taxable income) is the RMD for the year.  Yet, this total does not flow to line 5A on 1040.  Turbotax is excluding this amount from taxable income for some reason yet it is a required distribution from an IRA account.
