Annuity - how to input cost basis on turbotax

I have the premier turbotax download.  

I received a 1099-R from Prudential.  They have the gross compensation and the taxable amount the same.  They did NOT check the taxable amount not determined.  I looked at Prudential website, and they say that they report the full earnings on 1099-R, and do not keep track of cost basis for non-qualified accounts.  They say we are supposed to adjust it on our tax return.

Wouldn't that get the IRS attention?  How can I adjust it on turbotax?  I do not see a question and answer section that asks about cost basis?  

I should not be paying taxes on most of my annuity income, so how do I fix this?

Thank you!

Annuity - how to input cost basis on turbotax

I went back into the program and changed my answer to the annuity question is line 2 always the  taxable amount you used in the past? (or something to that effect).  I said no and then it allowed me to input the taxable amount  Then I went to forms and did a revised 1099 form with an explanation.  Hope this was the right way to do it, but for those of you looking for the same answer, this is how I did it because no one answered.
