"because the TSP excess cannot be applied to your IRA RMD,
enter $3,000 for actual amount received,
that leaves $10,000 shortfall in your IRA that must come out of your IRA."
But since I received $5,000, not $3,000, I should enter a fictional amount to force the correct answer? That wouldn't even line up with the 1099R I just entered for the TSP.
