I have to conclude that there is a bug. If entering the amount in box 1 or 2 of the 1099R (or any number at all) is not supposed to result in taxes on that amount then there is a bug since it clearly real- time shows your taxes increasing. I deleted the 1099r and redid it with same results. To be clear I am 77, with a qualified 401k from a Union pension. I do this every year and never was even asked this question. TTX phone support was unable to help me with this issue. I still think my best route to circumvent the issue is to enter zero when it asks for the amount of RMD to be paid by Dec 31, 2024. This results in no added tax and I can move forward with the return. Open to suggestions....thanks
