Pensions worksheet

When I run the review on my federal taxes, I get an error on the Pensions Worksheet. It tells me I cannot enter a number on both lines 4a and 4b, but I only have data on 4a. The entry on 4b is 0, which the program put in there, not me. How do we fix this?

The best way to fix it is to delete the 1099R and then enter it again Manually.   That usually clears something out.  Don't type any zeros.

This number does not come from a 1099-R.    The forms says "enter the amouint of IRA contributions previously taxes." It's something I have to enter myself.

Is it a state pension worksheet?   What state are you filing?

Federal pensions, IRA, etc . Worksheet, not state.
