Yes. You should answer that all of the distribution is to satisfy the RMD. Here's how to avoid the RMD loop you are experiencing:
To report your Form 1099-R distribution for your inherited IRAs, which includes the amount of the RMD, do the following:
- Return to your 1099-R entry by clicking Review to the right of IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R) in the Federal Wages & Income
- Click on the pencil to the right of the 1099-R
- Click Continue through the entries you've made
- Ensure you selected, I inherited this IRA, Continue
- Enter the information about from whom it was inherited, Continue
- Answer the, "Did you have nondeductible contributions for this IRA?", typically "No", Continue
- Year when the person from whom you inherited IRA was born, Continue
- Next, "Let's get more information about your RMD", enter the distribution amount (which in your case is also the RMD), Continue
- Next, select, The entire distribution applied to the December 31, 2025 RMD, Continue
- Next, in the Review your 1099-R summary, Continue (not the pencil)
- Continue answering the questions
- Next, when you see "Let's go over any required minimum distributions (RMD), select Continue (not the pencil)
Follow the above steps for each of your Form 1099-R entries.
If you still receive alerts about RMDs, be sure each number is exact for each box. It's a good idea to carefully review, especially if imported.
If the above does not resolve the loop issue, try using zero (0) as the RMD amount, since the RMD is the least amount, not the maximum.
If after doing the above steps, you receive alerts, you may go in and remove the Form 5329 (if one was generated), since you know it is all correct.
To delete Form 5329:
- Go to Tax Tools on the right hand panel inside of TurboTax
- Click on the down arrow and scroll down to Tools
- Click on Tools and select Delete a form from the menu items that appear in the Tool Center
- Click on the trash can icon to the right of Form 5329
