This is a survivor annuity from a federal annuity. The program doesn't ask if the number in box 2 is taxable. It only says to put in the number that is in Box 2a of the 1099R. There is no number in Box 2a, it just says UNKNOWN. I know that it is zero, so I put in zero. It is zero because I haven't recovered the Total Employee Contributions (and I know it uses the Simple method). The 1099-R summary worksheet, line 26 shows the taxable amount from 1099-R box 2a to be the gross distribution, not the taxable amount that I put in, which is zero.
1099-R summary worksheet, line 29 show the non-taxable amount to be zero, but it should be the full gross distribution.
The numbers from the 1099-R worksheet are then transferred to the 1040, and the are incorrect.
