Does your IRS form 1099-R include an amount in box 1 and box 2a?  If so, at the screens titled Annuity information, you may report the amount in box 2a as the taxable amount. 

At the question, For the years you received these distributions, was the total amount shown in the form the amount you paid tax on?, select Yes. 

The box 2a amount will be reported as the Taxable amount.
