The 2025 desktop turbotax has an error in the prompt regarding non-deductible IRA contributions. The prompt should ask if the deceased made non-deductible contributions (2024 version was correct), but instead asks if I, as the recipient made non-deductible contributions. The error needs to be fixed.

Thank you for the notice. Yes, please treat that screen as if it was speaking about contributions made by the previous owner of the inherited IRA (the deceased), so "you" should be read as the "deceased".

Then continue with the interview - it will do things like ask you about the RMD that you might owe on this inherited IRA and whether or not the 1099-R you are reporting satisfies the RMD, and so on.
