1099-R show dollar amount taxable, but the 1040 form shows only a portion of that amount as taxable? what is the problem and can I override to equal taxable amount?

Does your client have Basis in Traditional IRA(s)?

Then the taxable amount has to be determined from all of the traditional IRA accounts, using the total Basis against the total FMV at year end, for the % of distribution(s) that is and is not taxable. You can do that math, and you can look at form 8606 to see how it uses the 1099-R data for that calculation.

You make the entries and the form does the math.
