@cwqjr BUT it also says that if you received more than one IRA distribution (I take that as meaning more than one 1099-R for those distributions) then the total of those distributions should be in 4a. I don't think that TT has ever done this, though, and when there was a line 15a they just left that blank even for multiple distributions as long as the gross IRA distribution was equal to the taxable distribution.
I think that it's just confusing this year and it was better when pensions/annuities and IRAs were separated. It makes more sense logically that the total of all gross distributions from pensions, annuities and IRAs should be on line 4a.
