Retirement tax questions

Already many dozens of people here have asked the same question.  TurboTax's "important" note on the page with the RMD question is worse than not being there at all because it causes users to respond exactly opposite from the way that they should.

 

"If you still took your RMD" makes no sense because no distribution was an RMD.  In 2009 when RMDs were similarly waived, 2009 TurboTax simply eliminated the RMD question entirely.  That's what they should have done here.
