No one else can see your tax return, so we do not know if you made any mistakes or left out anything, etc.    If you want your return to be reviewed by an "expert" you can upgrade to "Live Assisted" or you can post some clearly worded, very specific questions here regarding anything you are especially worried about on your tax return.

To access your current or prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/ Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)   If you used the desktop CD/Download editions installed on your computer, the only copy of your tax data file and any PDF's will be on the computer where the return was created.  TurboTax does not store online any returns completed using the desktop editions.   Go to this IRS website for free transcripts of a federal tax return - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript   For a fee of $30 you can get a complete federal tax return from the IRS by completing Form 4506 - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf

This is usually a penalty tax the IRS charges when retirement account guidelines aren't followed correctly.   This could be either putting too much into a retirement account or not taking out enough when required.   Excess Contributions: You contributed more than the annual limit to an IRA, Roth IRA, or other retirement account. Missed Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs): If you don’t withdraw the required amount once RMDs begin, the IRS can assess a penalty.    How do I know if I contributed too much to my traditional IRA?   What are required minimum distributions (RMD)?  

I had this same issue where it kept overwriting. I then decided to delete it and re-enter it. Then I started to get the hit a snag message. I spent 2 hours with someone in chat with no help! Eventually I found another thread to figure out a resolution on my own. Instead of deleting it from this screen, you have to go to tools and then forms. Then look for the 1099-SA and delete it. Then you will have to re-enter it, but it allowed me to add a second one after that. 

After you enter form 1099-R keep going.   If you have entered a birth date which makes you older than 70 1/2  there will be a page that asks Do any of these situations apply? Midway down is Were any of these funds sent directly to a charity?   Then it will ask for the amount.   The code in box 7 of form 1099-R must be 7 and the little IRA/SEP/SIMPLE box must be checked.  A IRA QCD should be 0 taxable on 1040 line 4b and the QCD box checked.  Unless you have other 1099R taxable amounts on 4b.  You can’t do a QCD from a 401K.   If you are looking at a summary screen or review screen those show the full amount as income and lump a lot of stuff together. You need to check the actual 1040 form and make sure it's right. Check lines 4b & 5b for any taxable amounts.
