Error with reporting RMD. TT calculates a $7000 tax penalty for timing. I can't correct it.

For my 2024 federal return I download the information for my RMD from my institution.  I withdrew all that I was supposed to long before the end of 2024, then gave most of it to charities.  So about $10K is taxable income.  It handles that fine, but then it makes errors on form 5329 and calculates a $7000+ tax penalty.  

 

It should not be using form 5329 (additional taxes on qualified plans) at all.  It seems to be thinking that I failed to take the full withdrawal in 2024.  But there is no way to debug it. 

 

I can't figure out how or why it is doing the calculation.  I tried deleting the data and downloading it again, but it didn't help.  I tried giving it a date for when I made the withdrawal, but it made no difference. 

 

Is there any way to manually enter data in a 5329 form to correct the error?

 

Thanks.
