Retirement tax questions

It might be prudent to delete your imported 1099-R's and enter them manually to go down the correct path in TurboTax.

 

You are correct that a Roth IRA is NOT a qualified plan. A qualified plan means that contributions are tax deferred. Contributions to a Roth IRA are not tax-deferred, but because they are not, the withdrawals are not taxable.

 

The Code Q on your 1099-R designates a Qualified Roth Distribution.  Box 2a should be blank, and Box 2b checked. In the follow-up questions, indicate whether you rolled over the earnings or not.  You should not get the question you mentioned in either case.  

 

Here's more detailed info on Roth IRA Withdrawals.
