Yes, that is the issue. Turbotax online only allows a single disaster to be designated for each 1099-R; however, this is an artificial limitation by Turbotax.
The IRS allows multiple disaster designations for a taxpayer, which have nothing to do with the number of 1099-Rs. The number of distributions captured on a single 1099-R are not relevant.
The reason this matters is that there is a limitation on the amount that can be withdrawn without penalty for each taxpayer. The amount that can be withdrawn without penalty is based on each qualified disaster and has nothing to do with how many distributions the taxpayer makes nor the number of 1099-Rs.
Does Turbotax plan to correct his error so that more than one qualified disaster may be entered so users like myself can submit my taxes? Thank you.
