    You are in the wrong section of the program.  What you have described is a Form 1099-DIV for entering dividend income.

     

    To enter, edit or delete a form 1099-R -

    Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
    Click on Wages and Income (Personal Income using Home and Business)
    Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
    Scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security
    On IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R), click the start or update button

     

    Or enter 1099-r in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen. Click on Jump to 1099-R

    Box 7 should be 1 digit or letter.   The most common code is a 7 the same as the box #.   Could a 7 be in box 7?  Are you sure it’s a 1099R and not another kind of 1099 like a 1099B?  Sounds like a 1099 DIV for dividends.    Why did you get it?  Ask the company about it.
