Pension Distribution

My husband rolled over into a IRA his retirement from UCI and it was reported on a 1099-R.  Box 2a states taxable amount is zero, but on my return it is showing taxable.  How do I fix it?  Also, there was an error on the disbursement checks and we actually didn't receive the retirement until 2021, but UCI has already reported it in 2020.  Is this a problem?

First, what was the distribution code on the 1099-R?

 

Second, when asked what you did with the money shortly after your entered the 1099-R, how did you answer? You should have answered that you rolled the money over to another retirement account. Go back and review the 1099-R interview.

 

Third, "disbursement checks". What disbursement checks? Are you also drawing a pension? Or is this part of the rollover?

The code is G.  I'll go back and see if it asked that roller question.  It didn't when I entered it prior.

Unfortunately it's still showing as income and a lot of taxes are due.  I deleted the entries and started again.  Even after deleting the 2 1099-Rs that were rolled over, it still showed the taxes due on these 1099-R's.  Help!
