Is it true that if a taxpayer receives a 1099R from an IRA distribution if the withholding is more than 50% the tax can't be efiled. If so is this an IRS or Intuit Pro series requirement?

Wow...

Business Rule F1040-071-03
Form 1040, Line 64

Error: Check the total amount of your federal withholdings on Line 64 of your 1040.

'WithholdingTaxAmt' must be less than the sum of the following:
[Line 7 'WagesSalariesAndTipsAmt' and Line 8a 'TaxableInterestAmt' and Line 9a 'OrdinaryDividendsAmt' and (Line 15a 'IRADistributionsAmt' or Line 15b 'TaxableIRAAmt') and (Line 16a 'PensionsAnnuitiesAmt' or Line 16b 'TotalTaxablePensionsAmt' ) and Line 19 'UnemploymentCompAmt' and Line 20a 'SocSecBnftAmt' and ( all 'OtherIncomeAmt' in [OtherIncomeTypeStatement] attached to Line 21 ) and ( all Schedule C (Form 1040), Line 1 'TotalGrossReceiptsAmt' ) and ( all Schedule C-EZ(Form 1040), Line 1 'TotalGrossReceiptsAmt' ) ] unless one of the following is true: (1) Line 13 'CapitalGainLossAmt' has a non-zero value; (2) Line 14 'OtherGainLossAmt' has a non-zero value; (3) Line 17 'RentalRealEstateIncomeLossAmt' has a non-zero value; (4) Line 18 'NetFarmProfitLossAmt' has a non-zero value; (5) Combat Pay has been excluded from wages.

I would try to e-file it first to see if it goes through... There's nothing to lose if it is rejected... But I thought I read before what you said Lisa....
