Should I override the system or have the client get a corrected 1099R?

How would you know which number to override?

I did miss a little bit of information that could help I guess... The reason I would assume the number to override would be the Gross Distribution is for 2 reasons, 1, the system is showing that as the error, 2, the State distribution matches the Taxable amount. Here's a shot of the form in question.

I should add that the recipient of the 1099R passed away in September of 2022. I will have to ask the widow if she had to pay anything back, that could be where the error occurred if it is in reality an error.

It helps to give all the details. Which account type, which codes in which boxes? Employer plan, personal account, annuity, etc?

Get a corrected one. To me it is obvious you can't tax more than the gross distribution. I haven't had one like that, but I have seen the withholdings more than the gross amount, and I always get a corrected one. Just my opinion.

I think this is the route that I will take - tomorrow as not too many other people are working today. Unless somebody else comes up with a reason that the 1099R could actually be correct.
