I posed the following question to AmyC. in a message thread on returning (rolling back) Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) to an IRA in 2020, because they were deemed unnecessary for the year.

I have been working on this for months, and it looks like Amy's solution might work.
I have one further question: What do I do with the 2020 Form 1099-B sent to me by Vanguard, which shows my rolled back RMDs as taxable because I routinely send them to an account that holds stock market shares. That account has been in existence since 2013, when I started taking RMDs. I have never before made any withdrawals from that account, except as RMDs.
I rolled back the entire total of my 2020 RMDs to the Simple IRA they came from.
Apparently, their sojourn in a taxable account has me in tax trouble.
The 1099-B shows the following:
