Thank you for your answer Anita.
Saving and closing the file did not get rid of the 1099 MISC issue. Each time I go and delete the empty form it pops up another notification. I started with one notification this morning upon reopening the file. I "fixed' that form and then went back to review screen and an additional notification appeared. Now I have 3.
The 1099-R box is checked correctly. The gross amount (1) is $133.47. 2a and 2b is $0.00. 2b is not checked in either box. Box 5 is $133.47. And Box 7 is B and the box is not checked. The form view looks exactly like the 1099-R that I have.
The areas that are highlighted to be filled in on the Simplified Method Worksheet are line 2 and line 3. The first distribution from that fund was Jan 2016 when my husband was 59 yrs. old. This is the first year that there has not been a small taxable amount on the 1099R.
