Retirement tax questions
No, it is not a TurboTax error. The IRS Instructions for Form 1099-R state that for box 9a:
Box 9a. Your Percentage of Total Distribution If this is a total distribution and it is made to more than one person, enter the percentage received by the person whose name appears on Form 1099-R. You need not complete this box for any IRA distributions or for a direct rollover.
So, the expectation would be that if box 9a has a value, then the distribution is a total distribution.
To work around the error message, since the recipient received all of the distribution (100%), remove the number reported in box 9a when you enter the Form 1099-R.
