A workaround that works for me is to enter each of the 1099R forms individually and then open the tax form 5329T, and use the EDIT>OVERRIDE function for lines 52 and 53. That allows the user to enter manually the sum of all RMDs for qualifying IRAs on line 52a and the sum of all distributions for the same qualifying IRAs on line 53a. Then one follows the intsructions on lines 54 and 55. That will yield the amount of any tax penalty that is due or produce a zero if total of the distributions met the sum of the RMDs. The result will be entered automatically in the appropriate place on the form 1040.
