I suspect that the online version behaves differently than the CD/download version that I am using and that online TurboTax is prompting for an explanation due to the entry of an amount in the box for outstanding recharacterizations. That prompting at this point would be redundant to the entry under Deductions & Credits where the explanation really should be made. It doesn't surprise me that the online version does some strange things relative to the CD/download version.
