1099-q Error in TT Deluxe

Stu_intuit2 · ‎February 10, 2026

Hi,

I was entering the gross distribution, earnings and basis into TT Deluxe. It is not letting me move forward because it thinks that the Gross distribution is not the sum of the earnings and the basis. I have done the multiple times, and it is correct.

Can someone please verify that there is not a bug in the code.

Thank you

This is likely a rounding error. Try re-typing the values from boxes 1, 2, and 3 as rounded whole numbers, without the decimals on the end (assuming the values include dollars and cents). For example, $0.00 round to $0

This will not cause a reporting issue; the IRS does not accept decimal values anyway, and will expect the final totals on your tax return to be rounded up or down to the nearest whole dollar by the tax software regardless.
