You should enter both amounts... you should report form 1099-R into TurboTax exactly as it appears...I'm assuming that you are talking about box 1, Gross distribution, and box 2a Taxable amount... it is common to have both fields listed and both fields should be entered at this point.

  1. Federal Taxes
  2. Wages and Income
  3. Scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security
  4. Select IRA, 401(k), Pension Plans (1099-R)

What I think this person means is what I mean. 

I have one form. There are two different amounts under (1) Gross Distribution. Do I add those together or do I need to do two separate entries? 

(2a) Taxable amount is a different line.

Both box 1, gross distribution and box 2, taxable distributions are entered when entering your 1099R.  Enter them exactly as they appear on your form.

Ok, you are still not getting it. 

Forget (2a). This is all under (1) Gross Distribution.

It is like they should have given me two different 1099-R forms. Instead, they just put it on one, with two different distribution amounts. Can I add these together in one entry into Turbo Tax or do I need to put them in as two separate entries?

If you received one 1099R, you enter one 1099R.  If you received 2 1099R's, you enter two 1099R's.  

 

Do not combine 1099R's.  If you feel there is an error on your 1099R, contact the issuer to receive a corrected one.
