Retirement tax questions

I am in another thread with people having the same problem. It was suggested that you enter $0 for the RMD.  I did and it did not charge me the penalty.  When I got to the end and it checked for errors, it flagged the $0 and said I should not enter an amount.  I deleted it and continued on to the end.  I know my refund amount was correct this way because I had double checked everything through another income tax software program.  They both came up with the same final number.  I went ahead and e-filed last night and got the notice it was accepted.  Will see what happens now.  

It is a shame that TT has left it’s customers with this major issue to deal with.
