The total withdrawal amount of $16,100 from my wife and my own Roth IRAs, Turbotax still takes $10,100 out of it as taxable. I thought all should be taken as no tax.

All 16100 are used to pay my daugher's college tuition in 2020.

The taxable amount of the distribution as reported on Form 1099-R in box 2a is entered on a tax return as ordinary income and taxed at your current tax rate.

The distribution

  • Not in excess of your qualified higher education expenses

from an IRA removes the 10% early withdrawal penalty, not the taxability of the distribution.

No. That's not what I want answer.  my 1099R 2a is blank. I know the amount in 2a is for taxable income. But I do not have 2a amount. That's what I got confused.
