Retirement tax questions

Hi Dave, I do have the RMD requirement, but your suggestion does not work as expected. 

On the first form,

I enter an amount from one 1099, which is less than the total RMD

Next screen, I select that all of that amount was an RMD

Next screen, I enter the total RMD amount

Next screen asks if I "took out the entire remaining amount during the correction window."  I entered yes.

Next screen, none to charity

This form is complete, and I move onto the next one

I enter "No, none of this withdrawal is an RMD

Next screen, none to charity

Next screen, I cashed it out (did not move to another IRA or return it to the same IRA)

Next screen, no I didn't put it towards an HSA

Next screen, not a 2023-24 disaster distribution

2nd form is completed.  Several hundred dollars in tax due is displayed.

Next screen, no disaster distribution between 2021-23

Next screen, did not make/track nondeductible contributions to IRA

Next screen, "Let's check if met minimum distribution requirement."  Total RMD displayed is twice what I entered, so I select "No"  I then get the following message:

 

"We recommend waiting to file your taxes.

We're working on some updates related to required minimum distribution, but your can still work on other parts. . . .Please check back here later on."

 

Would you be able to let me know if what I describe above is correct and the SW needs update or if I didn't exactly follow your instructions?
