Retirement tax questions

Great idea -- but unfortunately, TT is not giving me that Rollover / Conversion option, per the below screenshot. I don't think TT is letting me do this given its a Beneficiary SEP-IRA, even though the institution holding it said it was alright to do (and they accepted the deposit of the RMD back into the account!).

 

I even attempted to state that I had made a non-deductible contribution to this account, but that failed to move the "Refund" needle, too.

 

And when I tested the age approach, that reduced my prospective tax liability a little bit, but not the full amount that eliminating the RMD would have done.

 

Am going to call the IRS and float my idea of filing the TT version, then go with an amended return thereafter. I obviously don't want to pay tax two times on the same withdrawal.

 

Thanks, though, for your astute suggestions.  As stated earlier, TT software likely has an error in how it is handling Beneficiary SEP-IRAs and CARES Act interpretation.
