I received a total distribution from m 401K, I converted partial to a Roth IRA. When I enter it it keeps giving me the following message:

Double check this Form 1099-R  to make sure the amount you converted to a Roth IRA was not included in Box 2a, Taxable Amount. It usually isn't. However, if the part of your distribution that was converted to a Roth IRA was included in Box 2a of this Form 1099-R, then the taxable pension amount will be double counted. If it was included in Box 2a, go to the Retirement Income (Form 1099-R) screen and reduce the amount you entered in Box 2a of this Form 1099-R by the amount of the Roth conversion. This will make it so the Roth conversion doesn't get double counted as taxable income.

I entered the amount I kept in box 2a taxable income and in amount converted the amount I converted.
