1099-R Distribution code (box 7) H with IRA/SEP/SIMPLE unchecked

[kracu18]

I have form 1099-R from my financial institute where I rolled over my Roth 401k to Roth IRA as it is. When I filed my tax it is checking the 4c as rollover with no amount on 4a and adding amount to 5a without checking any option to 5c as result my return was rejected by IRS with reason code : "F1040-478 - If Form 1040, 'IRADistributionRolloverInd', 'IRADistributionQCDInd' or 'IRADistributionOtherInd' is checked, then 'IRADistributionsAmt' or 'TaxableIRAAmt' must have a non-zero value."

I tried to delete and add the from multiple times but still seeing the same on the final review page. How do i procesed from here ?

That is very weird.  Haven't seen anyone report that yet.  I would try deleting the 1099R and enter it again MANUALLY, especially if you imported it.   Oh you said you tried that.

I have the exact the same problem in TurboTax Premier desktop version with the most current updates. Didn’t catch it until IRS rejected my return. Tried deleting, entering again, etc. Every option fails. Trying to reach support now.

I am having the same issue. I had a 401(k) Roth rollover to a Roth IRA (distribution code H). Box 4c was checked as "Rollever" but the gross distribution amount was being put into Box 5a (not 5a). Hence, there was a mismatch between rows 4 and 5. My return was rejected saying:

Description of error:

If Form 1040, 'IRADistributionRolloverInd', 'IRADistributionQCDInd' or 'IRADistributionOtherInd' is checked, then 'IRADistributionsAmt' or 'TaxableIRAAmt' must have a non-zero value.

What needs to be done:

This return cannot be filed at this time due to a processing error that will be corrected on March 13, 2026. On or after this date, open the rejected return, review it for errors, and resubmit the return for electronic filing.
