Should I fill in box 2a on my 1099-r? It is blank and total distribution is checked. It was an early withdrawal.

Yes I understand it will treat it as the full amount but it won’t let me leave it blank and submit, and I didn’t want to put a number there that isn’t on the form.  Does that make sense?

This is a pension with monthly distributions.  My 1099-R form just does not show a taxable amount and the box in 2A is checked that it is unknown.  None of the payments are early withdrawal so there should not be any penalties.  Dad was 93 years young TURTBO TAX just SUX rocks sometimes when trying to enter what I have been given
