I received a 1099-R for a $0.38 distribution (Box 1) of Roth 401(k) earnings. Box 2a shows the $0.38 as taxable amount. I'm 57 so this seems to be correct and $0.08 was withheld for federal tax (Box 4). I was informed by a representative of the custodian that the Roth distribution was taxable because I'm under 59 1/2. This was tiny amount left behind after rollover the Roth 401(k) into a Roth IRA so the impact is negligible, but I want to enter everything accurately when filing. However, when I try to enter these values into TurboTax 2025, it won't let me enter the amounts unless I change the taxable amount in Box 2a to $0, which is not correct from what I was told and independently read on the IRS site. So, this appears to be a bug that needs to be fixed or I need to have some direction how to get this entered properly.

Since the distribution you received is less than 50 cents, it rounds to zero. You do not need to report this. You can delete the 1099-R you entered, and just save the document with your tax records.
Got it. Thanks!
