Problem with 1099Q entering distribution information

steventblack — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 20:31:05 GMT

TurboTax is throwing an error indicating that my box 1 gross distribution must equal the sum of box 2 and box 3. It does. I've double checked the math and there is no rounding issue as the sums of boxes 2 and 3 equal that of box 1.

I have tried to reenter the values but the error persists. I have tried deleting the form and entering all the information again, but the error continues. I have made sure I am running with the latest updates (4/6) as well.

I can't get past this error no matter how I try try to adjust the numbers.

Try entering boxes 1, 2 and 3 in whole dollars (no cents) and make sure that Box1 = Box 2 + Box 3 (in whole dollars).

That worked; thank you!

That's a really lame bug on such a basic form.
