I have several IRA accounts that are subject to a RMD. This year I did not withdraw any money from some accounts but the total amount drawn from other accounts was sufficient to cover the total RMD. This is legal. I did not get a 1099-R for those accounts without any activity. So that I could show that the excess RMD covered all my accounts I entered manually some 1099-R's and entered the distribution as 0. This worked fine as i was later asked about RMD etc. But when I tried to finish the return I received error messages that the number in the distribution could not be 0 (or less than $0.50). It let me go until the last moment of sending the e-file when it refused this error. In the end I added $0.51 as the distributed amount and then everything went through.
It would be great if TTax would allow the $0 entry. Or is there a different way I should/could have entered the additional RMD due?
