1st Time IRA RMD not showing up on Form 1040 Line 4a print-out

[Wedding5500]

Getting ready to efile and when I printed my return to look over, I noticed on Page 2 of Form 1040, Line 4a, my husband's IRA distribution is blank.  The dollar amount IS showing up on 4b.  Is there a reason it's not also showing up on Line 4a?  He has no Form 8606, in case that makes a difference.

He just turned 73 in Sept 2025 so this is his first IRA RMD taken (done in Sept after his birthday).

Thank you.

This is a confusion instruction in the 1040 Instructions - see page 27 for line 4a:

If the distribution from your IRA is fully taxable, enter the total distribution on line 4b; don’t make an entry on line 4a

@BillM223,

Ahhh, ok, this makes sense now!  Thank you very much - this was my last “glitch” before efiling!

I appreciate your help!
