Thanks DianneW777,
but I don't think this new info will be useful, since I am using the on-line TurboTax and I need to revert to using the substitute 1099-R method to avoid paying extra state taxes in Illinois.
Under "normal circumstances" TurboTax is great, but for those of us that have an unusual circumstance e.g. a benefit payment from a foreign government, it can get cumbersome. I cant e-file this year because of this problem. This is not a one-off issue. It will occur every year for thousands of us. Will this be fixed for next year's TurboTax program?
