Early Roth distribution

[ajp]

Client decided he didn't want his Roth anymore and took a full distribution.  It was an early distribution, code J.  From what I've read, the initial amount put into the Roth should not be taxable, only the gain on it.  That gain could also be subject to Early withdrawal penalties.  

However, regardless of how I enter this form, ProSeries is putting the full amount as taxable income.  

Any tips?

You'll need to input the basis (what he originally contributed), I think the 1099R worksheet has a button to take you right to where you need to go (near the  bottom of Page 1).
