Guess I spoke too soon about the last 1099 (code H .. Roth401-to-RothIRA) for which I omitted the box 5 entry .. If I enter this "cost basis" .. TT adds it to the rollover from Roth401k and in cumulative (line 51). My other code H had the same amount in box 5 as box 1 .. If I do this the worksheet (IRA Wks) is populated correctly. I was okay NOT entering the cost basis, but a bit uncomfortable entering a different amount to get the proper result :(.
It seems the 1099 is correct as is .. why is TT software is using box 5 vs box 1 to populate the IRA Wks ?
