Form 1099-R

I’m trying to finish my taxes but after I enter the information on the form it gives a error message that something isn’t right, box 2a is empty but then 2b has both boxes checked and I had them keep or take out 10% for taxes when I had to get the distribution so that amount is in box 4 and then box 7 has 1 and box for IRA/SEP/Simple checked so what should I do to finish and submit my taxes or is the form incorrect?

If that doesn't work, delete your 1099-R and re-enter it.

  1. Open TurboTax

  4. Go to Form 1009-R
  5. Select Add/Edit
  6. Select the trash can next to the 1099-R that you want to delete

 

Then add the 1099-R again.
