Assuming that you are asking about New York State, the following link shows you where to find the document numbers:  NY License info .  TurboTax will only ask for the first three characters in the Document Number and specifies not to enter IDUSA, but the first three characters after that.  Some licenses just have Doc #: and you would just enter the first 3 characters after that.

Ahhh, I found where it asked about non-deductible contributions.   When you get out to the table of 1099-R forms, you click on the Done, and after a couple more disaster questions, you finally get the Q about non-deductible contributions to  IRAs.   The software probably waits until then to ask, because some folks have, and may take distributions from separate IRA accounts , and the nondeductible contributions calculation will apply to all of them.

Texas does not have an income tax, so there is no point in entering any withheld tax.   It is common for 1099-R issuers to always enter a state abbreviation, even if they did not withhold any tax (box 14). In this case, boxes 14, 15, and 16 should be left blank.

To clarify, did you enter a Form 1099-NEC? Did you enter as Self-Employed income (Schedule C) Did you manually enter it (type it in)? Which TurboTax product are you using? Desktop or Online ?  

@user17692003622 if the issue for you with online is the cost then just to let you know there is an offer this year to switch your desktop license to online premium version with Fed+State at no extra cost (check smallprint - details below).  The offer comes up when installing Turbo on Win 10.  Online is not the exact same functionality it does not have Forms mode and you can only prepare 1 return.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/download-products/end-support-windows-8-affect-turbotax-experience/L4v9atO3O_US_en_US   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/articles/community-news-announcements/turbotax-windows-10-desktop-software-end-of-life/05/3708302   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/marketing/ty25-ttd-direct-offer/L0aUgksJd_US_en_US  

@tjmcd3    OK, I can get the same set of follow-ups...but ONLY if I failed to check the IRA/SIMPLE/SEP box ...i.e, a QCD can only come from one of those IRA types. ________________ IF it was from one of those IRA types, make sure you check that box.   Then when you get to the "Do any of these situations apply to you?"  page ...there is a much longer list of check boxes, and 2/3rds of the way down is a checkbox for "I transferred all or part of this money directly to a charity"  .... and proceeding from that page you'll be able to indicate how much  ......(after indicating all was an RMD....) ___________________ No, I don't know what happens with basis, I didn't see that part either.  But it wouldn't be needed unless you made non-deductible (after tax) contributions to that IRA     See below

Just another follow up as today when I opened the app I now have 3 of 5.  This is BS and there should be a way to contact someone to verify to TurboTax that you are only using one device.  I forsee the day when it shows 5 of 5 and won't let me activate.  This has been the worst year ever for this product.
