Yes, that is what I finally did.  Remember, the 1041 Estate and Trust Form does not show a 1099R in the forms selection.  I finally had to manually hack it by putting in the amount of reduction between box 1 and box 2 as a negative figure in the "Other income" input line 8, and then line the reduced amount shows up in the right-side income on line 8

  Thanks for your response.
