TT has my taxable Roth conversion on Line 4a

The IRS indicates that, unless you have an exceptional situation (not the case with me), you should leave line 4a blank and enter the total distribution (from Form 1099-R, box 1) on line 4b.

I'm not sure why it is showing up like that. In the instructions to form 1040, it mentioned to use line 4(a) if you had a rollover. In any case, it won't affect your taxable income or tax and I can't imagine that the IRS would be concerned about it.

Just to confirm, you did not have any nondeductible amounts in that traditional IRA?
