Currently the online version will not present the COVID related questions for a 1099-R with a box 7 code that contains a "B".
User dmertz posted the following workaround for the Online version 1099-R code B bug.
In online TurboTax a workaround is needed to get around the flaw in TurboTax that prevents it from asking if the distribution is COVID-19 -related when there is a code B in box 7. Enter the Form 1099-R as is but omit the code B, enter only code 1, 2 or 7 (If box 7 has only code B, temporarily enter code 7 instead). Complete the follow-up questions, then, when you reach the Review Your 1099-R Info page, edit this 1099-R and add the code-B selection. The COVID-19-related information will remain even though you won't have access to those questions with the code B present.
