Retirement tax questions

If your IRA distribution is appearing on Form 1040A line 12, it means that you overlooked marking the IRA/SEP/SIMPLE box on TurboTax's 1099-R form.  Distributions from traditional IRA accounts will be reported on Form 1099-R with the IRA/SEP/SIMPLE box marked.  Distributions from any other type of account will be reported on Forms 1099-R that do not have the IRA/SEP/SIMPLE box marked.

Go back and edit the 1099-R form in TurboTax corresponding to the Form 1099-R that you received from the traditional IRA.
