I need to enter UNK in box 2a when entering 1099-R info, but the box only accepts numbers. The 1099-R says UNKNOWN.

If your 1099-R form shows "UNKNOWN" in box 2a, follow steps below:

1. Leave Box 2a Blank: When entering your 1099-R information in TurboTax, leave box 2a blank.
2. Check Box 2b: Check the box for 2b indicating "taxable amount not determined"
3. Follow-Up Questions: TurboTax will prompt you with follow-up questions to help calculate the taxable amount
