I got a cp2000 letter from the IRS

In 2018 I had 4 1099-R's

3 were regular retirement payments dist code 2

1 was fron an ira w/d dist code 1 for $10,000

this one did not get added to line 4a of 1040

any help why this would happen???

IRS changed what appears on Line 4a (if the gross and taxable amount for an IRA dist was the same, it didnt appear on Line 4a, only 4b), but I dont think thats where your issue lies.... what showed on Line 4b?  Thats the taxable amount.

Did you have basis for the IRA (that was previously non deductible) that reduced the taxable portion?

Youre going to have to follow the money, look at your 1099R worksheets and the IRA worksheet and see what happened that didnt put the correct amount on Line 4b.

4a was 48,822....should have been 58,820

line 4b has 30,463

IRS claims 58,820 taxable

they added 28,357

What was on line 4a doesn't mean diddly.  How much of the total distributions were actually taxable?  Does the IRS show the correct taxable amounts?

I dont think anyone here can help with this, YOU need to go back into the 2018 program and see what happened with your 1099R worksheets and what transferred to where.
