Issue with form 1099R - federal tax withheld not reflecting on form 1040

Hello, I've had a salary excess deferral of a few thousands dollars last year. I've changed jobs and overall I've over-contributed by about $3,500. I got a refund check by the plan administrator, accounting for a loss of $156 and federal tax withheld of $341. I will not receive the form 1099R before next year but as instructed by TurboTax, I've filed a 1099R as if I had received it (listing the total gross amount in boxes 1 and 2a and the amount of federal tax withheld in box 4; as well as code P in line 7). I marked it as a 2025 1099R form. I've also added the $156 loss in the less common income section. 

 

I've tried to file by my returns have been rejected with error code  F1040-034-08 (Form 1040, 'WithholdingTaxAmt' must be equal to the sum of the following: [(1) all Forms 1099-R, 'FederalIncomeTaxWithheldAmt' and (2) all 'WithholdingAmt' in [OtherWithholdingStatement] and (3) all Forms W-2, 'WithholdingAmt' and (4) all Forms W-2G, 'FederalIncomeTaxWithheldAmt' and (5) Form 8959, 'AddlMedcrRRTTaxWithholdingAmt' and (6) 'TotalAmt' in [BackupWhSchedulesK1Statement] and (7) all Forms RRB 1042-S, 'FederalIncomeTaxWithheldAmt' and (8) all Forms SSA 1042-S, ('NetTaxWithheldAmt' if it has a non-zero value, otherwise 'FederalIncomeTaxWithheldAmt')] unless Form 8958 is present in the return. When evaluating this, a tolerance of $5.00 is allowed"). 

 

When I check my form 1040, the $341 of federal tax withheld from my 1099R is not listed in line 25b. I don't know why. This may be the issue but I'm not able to change this. If I override, I won't be able to e-file. I've tried to delete the 1099R and re-add it but still the same issue. The amount of tax withheld is not being reflected on the 1040. Can somebody help? Thank you

Since the Form 1099-R has not been generated yet, the tax withheld will be paid in and applied to 2025. So, it would not be reportable on your 2024 tax return. You will report it on your 2025 return. You still need to make the substitute Form 1099-R entry on your 2024 return, but you won't get credit for the tax withheld until you report the 2025 Form 1099-R on that tax return.
