Retirement tax questions

There were two related issues:

 

  1. A bug related to the preparation of Form 8606 when the individual has basis in their own traditional IRAs and received a distribution from an inherited IRA.  This is the bug that has been fixed.
  2. Intuit (or maybe the IRS, but it seems like it was done by Intuit) chose to block the filing of any tax return that included Form 8606 Part I because the e-filing system had no way to determine if the Form 8606 was affected by #1 or not.  That's the subject of this thread.  This filing block has to be lifted separately and may or may not have been done.
