I entered a 1099R for a distribution from a deceased relative, now TT is asking questions and treating me as the deceased.

I entered a 1099R for a distribution from a deceased relative.  TT then asked about the birthdate of the deceased for information about Required Minimum Distributions.  Then the questions continued about distributions, but refer to me as the recipient.  I was never a recipient previously and do not know how the deceased person handled them.  How am I to proceed through these questions?  Did I fail to mark something earlier?  I went back and check my work and confirmed I have "4" entered in box 7 indicating it is a death payment.  Thanks for any help.
