How I work with a 1099 R gross dis and taxable amount and transfer it to 1040 only the taxable amount

[pattyrod]

I need to have in the 1040 form only the taxable amount on 1099R when I transfer this form the gross distribution is more than the taxable example in 4a I should have the gross distribution and 4 b the taxable amount but it doesn't happen the program transfer the gross amount total to be taxable what can I do to fix this problem

If its an IRA and the gross and taxable amount are the same, nothing will transfer to Line 4a, only 4b will show the taxable amount.   Does that sounds like what youre seeing?
