Even though you mentioned that you are taking the standard deduction and the medical premiums shown on your Forms 1099-R will not affect your return, I wanted to share the results of examining your diagnostic tax file in detail.
When the Form 1099-R is entered and there is a number reported in box 5, the amount can represent more than one thing. Medical insurance premiums is one of the options. There is a specific follow-up question that comes up after entering the Form 1099-R that asks for the amount from box 5 that was used for insurance premiums. Looking at the inputs from the diagnostic tax file, this amount was entered in the follow-up question for the taxpayer's Form 1099-R. The amount was not entered in the follow-up question for the spouse's Form 1099-R.
Using the test file, the follow-up question about box 5 for the spouse's Form 1099-R was entered and the data was carried to the appropriate forms without any issues.
