in Filing my taxes

Hi,

I have entered my Form 1099-R with Box 1 (Gross Distribution) : $405 and Box 2a (Taxable amount) : $0 and the software added $405 to my taxable income. I think it's not right but I don't know how to correct it. Thank you

    What kind of plan was the distribution taken from? Why is the distribution not taxable? What code is in Box 7 of the 1099R, and did you enter it correctly? Is the "taxable amount not determined" box checked?

    Distribution code (Box 7) is W

    Box 2b Taxable amount not determined has only ( )

    If you put a W in the box 7 field, you should be able to make the 2a field a zero. Is it not allowing you to do this?

    Hi Laurence,

    Double check to make sure you have entered all boxes correctly on your form into the software program. Uncommon boxes that are easily missed include 8 - 12.

    By including $0 in box 2a your distribution is non-taxable.
