My pension and annuity distributions is $86,980 but TurboTax reduced it to $39,684. All of it should be taxable. Why was it reduced?

My pensions are from our military retirement and my civil service retirement. Should it be reduced?

The pensions distributions on IRS form 1099-R in box 1 reported $86,980.  On the Federal 1040 income tax return, are you saying that the box 2a (taxable amount) was reduced to $39,684 by use of the simplified method or general rule?  Or are you saying something else?

For instance, are you saying that the Federal 1040 income tax return reports a taxable amount of $86,980 and a state income tax return reduced the taxable amount to $39,684?  What state would that be?

Please clarify.

After reviewing my taxes again, there was an input error. I put in the taxable amount box the federal taxes withheld. After I corrected that error, it computed correctly.
