If Line 25 b is showing the incorrect tax withheld on my 1099 forms, how do I correct this? Should I clear

[fjkfido2943]

The tax withheld amount are entered correctly on the 1099-R forms.  Why is it wrong on the 1040?

It's possible that Line 25b includes withheld taxes other than the 1099-R. Withheld taxes from dividends, taxable or tax-exempt interest income, unemployment compensation, social security benefits, or railroad retirement benefits are also included on Line 25b.

I should have mentioned that line 25b is less than the amounts entered on my 1099R forms.

This error is usually seen when a taxpayer has accidentally entered the amount that should be in box 4 of their 1099-R into a different box by mistake.  Please double check your entries and make sure that the amounts are entered into the properly corresponding boxes.

Hello, line 25b is showing an amount much larger than the amounts on our 1099G forms for tax withheld (which I entered correctly). We have no other 1099 forms with taxes withheld. Please help.
