Thank you for answering my question, but 1. As a software developer of 50+ years, I would call this a "workaround" rather than a fix. Additionally, it is a real shame since the main reason I have continued to buy and use Turbotax for the last 10 or more years is for the carryover of such information as all the payer number and address details involved in entering a 1099. Anyway, there is pretty clearly some kind of a bug here and it really ought to be fixed. 2. Unfortunately, that is not the end of it. I did as you asked with one of my four 1099-R entries. When I go back into the 1099 summary, I no longer find the original error message about "Enter, edit or delete your lender and interest info.". But, what I do find is the screen says "Add all the 1099-Rs you need to. You can edit, add or delete info here...." However, as you can see by the attached screen dump, there is NO OPTION to either delete my entry or to edit it. I guess that means that with the 2025 edition of Turbotax, you had better enter the 10999-R correctly the first time -- or you are out of luck and you have to go through deleting and re-typing it all over again. Needless to say, if I am correct, this is simply unacceptable and an embarrassment for Intuit that the 1099-R code is just not ready for prime time at this time.(By the way, before I attempted this fix, I checked for program updates (there were none) and afterwards I did a Review (which claimed no errors at this point.) 3. I can do my best to enter the remaining 1099-Rs without error, but can you at least report this as a bug. And, if you have any idea what I might have done wrong, please let me know. As for editing or deleting, I know that I can go back to the Forms view and delete or even edit certain fields, so you don't need to walk me through that. There just ought to be a way to edit the data in the "Step-byStep" view as is claimed on that very screen. Thanks.
