Thank you for the info. I dug into the actual underlying forms and found that somehow TT thought I had a basis in my IRA and this caused TT to ask the question. Since I don't have a basis in my IRA (ROTH yes, but not my traditional IRA) I replaced it with zero (0) and then TT no longer prompted me with the question.
This question is still confusing since form 5498 gets mailed out in May, 1 month AFTER federal taxes are due. So how can TT ask for a form I can't have? So something still seems broken regarding this, but I did resolve my specific issue.
