Delete the 1099-R you entered and re-enter it. When you enter it, enter it exactly how it reads, the taxable amount (box 2a) should not be zero when entering it. If you change it to zero when entering it, you will get the error. Let TurboTax make the adjustment in the follow-up questions.
After you enter it, you will go through the follow up questions and mark that the distribution was a QCD, then TurboTax will make the changes to the taxable amount automatically. You do not have to enter any supporting details; TurboTax does that when adjusting the taxable amount.
