Under retirement Income Results, is shows my total retirement income being less than my taxable retirement income
Best answer by VolvoGirl

1040 line 4a or 5a is less than the b line?  Yes that can happen.   Do you have more than 1 1099R?  If the gross amount on one 1099R is the same as the taxable amount the gross amount is not included on the "a" line.   Only the taxable amount on the b line is important.  So make sure the taxable amount on "b" is right.

Look at your 1040 lines 4,5and 6 (if applicable) and see if the amounts are correct.
