Question

On the1099-R we received in the mail the box 14 and 12 amounts are reversed. Should I put the correct amounts for distribution and tax withheld in our tax form?

The IRS revised the 2020 1099-R form.  Box 12 is now just a check box.  The old boxes 12-14 are now 14-16.   If you received an old pre-2020 form then the issuer is not following the IRS rules.   You can simply put the state withholding (if any) in boxes 14-16.     If no state tax was withheld then all boxes 14-16 must be blank.
