This was probably overkill, but I decided to trash my 2018 file, trash TtH/B then reinstall. Second time around, form 982 or audit warning never reared its head. Filed and done. Still frustrated by all of this, but now it is over. By the way, first time through, I looked at the PDF of what would have been filed. Though the audit warning was there, there was no form 982. Good luck everyone.
