My W-2 boxes dont match TurboTax boxes. i.e. My box 2 is 2a Taxable Amount...TurboTax box 2 is Federal Tax W/H.

The Form you have is a Form 1099-R Not a W-2

To enter a form 1099-R -

  • Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
  • Click on Wages and Income (Personal Income using Home and Business)
  • Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
  • Scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security
  • On IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R), click the start or update button

Or enter 1099-r in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen.  Click on Jump to 1099-R

What form do you actually have?  Is it something other than a W-2?  What does it say at the top?
