I won't use this to file taxes ever again if Intuit doesn't fix this blunder.

What is the Distribution Code in Box 7 of your 1099-R?

TurboTax correctly handles Forms 1099-R prepared correctly by the payer and entered correctly by the user.

In addition to posting here the code that is in box 7, is the IRA/SEP/SIMPLE box marked?

Is a nonzero amount shown in either box 2a or box 5? If so, which box?

I can help you correct your 1099-R to correctly report it as a non-taxable rollover.

Log into TurboTax and bring up the 1099-R that you posted.
Continue in the interview
Do any of these situations apply to you? - None of these apply
How much of the $XX,XXX was a RMD? - None
Tell us if you moved the money through a rollover or conversion
1. I rolled over some or all of it to an IRA or other retirement account within the time limits (normally 60 days)
Did you roll over all of this $XX,XXX (Box 1) to another retirement account?
1. Yes, I rolled over $XX,XXX to another traditional IRA or retirement account (or returned it to the same account).
Complete the interview.

Now check your tax return.

Your IRA distribution is on line 4a

Taxable amount is on 4b
