I managed to enter my 1099-R but did it in a roundabout way. I really can't explain how I did it, but I 'pretended' to be a government civilian worker (instead of retired military), entered in the information and gave the information that I had on my copy of my 1099-R. I must have spent 15 minutes trying to figure that out.
If you persist in this, you'll come across other 1099-Rs and go into them and create a new one. I will include a personal letter with my tax form just in case what I did causes any issues. (JHC, this is 2025 and we're still having these problems.)
I'm guessing this was a sneaky way for them to get me to spend more money for personal assistance. 🙂
Also, since I'm retired US Army and live in the Netherlands, it's a real FPITA that I am forced to change my address (for my Visa card) to my brother's address in the US since, in 2025, they still can't use a foreign address outside of the US or Canada for payment.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one with this issue.
