What do I do if my 1099R has box to a complete completed and the amount is less than box one?

What do I do if my 1099R has box 2a completed, and that amount is less than the amount in box 1

That's ok.  Enter the 1099R exactly as shown.  My 1099R 2a is less than box 1 by the amount in box 5.

When Box 2a (Taxable amount) is less than Box 1 (Gross distribution), it means a portion of the money you received is nontaxable. This usually happens because you already paid taxes on some of the money in that account (your "basis").
