[MichaelL1]

What code was in box 7?  No amount was listed in box 2a? and box 2b checked?  Traditional 401K correct? not Roth

[Beck711]

7 was checked. It is traditional IRA but no amount indicated in Taxable amount box. [pii removed]

Ok if box 7 is listed, you will enter the 1099R exactly as entered.

The entire amount will be taxable income unless you made some nondeductible contributions (which would be very unusual if this is through an employer). 

Carefully go through the 1099R entry again and answer the questions that follow.

This should not be an excess withdrawal so something must be answered the wrong way.
