    During the entry of the 1099-R, at the screen Describe the Taxable Amount, did you click: 

    • Yes, the amount in box 2a was used as the taxable amount, or
    • No, a different amount was taxable?

    What is the code in box 7?

    Is the IRA/SEP/SIMPLE box checked?

    Is the box 2b (not determined) checked?
