Why is the taxable amount greater than gross distribution on 1099-R on State Farm life insurance company

[SweetieJean]

Box 2a is more than Box 1?

[SweetieJean · Accepted solution]

Box 1 cannot be less than box 2a on a correctly prepared Form 1099-R.  If the Form 1099-R provided by the payer has a box 1 amount that is less than the box 2 amount, contact State Farm to obtain a corrected Form 1099-R.
