I think I may have figured out how to make this work in "easy step" Although it does not seem entirely correct, here is what I did in answering prompts:
1. Did you inherit? Answer: NO.
2. Tell us when person born? SUPPLIED ANSWER (dunno why this comes up, but it did)
3. Was withdrawal an RMD? YES, PART AND SCHEDULED RMD AMOUNT.
4. What did you do with the money? SOMETHING ELSE WITH IT.
5. Did you put money in an HSA? YES AND PUT IN AMOUNT IN MY CASE $4,500.
6. Was this a qualified disaster: NO.
This way the money that I moved from IRA to HSA (once in a lifetime transfer) subtracted on line 4b of 1040 and Form 8889 looks correct.
So, even though it seems odd, I believe it is correct and I am pleased.
Thanks,
Snake
