Cannot enter explanations in Line 52A of Form 5329T

For my Beneficiary IRA I did not withdraw a sufficient amount to meet my RMD for 2025.  I found the error today Feb6, 2026. I filed out a form 5329T form and asked for a waiver. selected explanation button. When I entered text of the first line, it disappeared when I pressed <R+TAB> or Enter.  Vary frustrating.  No error message. Tried to get help from Intuit    Person help[ didn't know . Tried to get me to an expert and got disconnected. Long wait time so I am posting it here.

Thanks for the screenshot. Can you send me a sanitized file so I can take a closer look? The number will be removed for your safety in your reply but I'll be able to retrieve it. Here's how you can generate the token: 
 

TurboTax Desktop

  1. Open your return. ​
  2. Click “Online” and select "Send Tax File to Agent". ​
  3. This will generate a message that a diagnostic copy will be created.
  4. When the token is generated, be prepared to type in your notes or in a message (unable to copy and paste)
  5. Click “OK”. The tax file will then be sanitized and sent to us. This action will generate a Token Number
  6. Please respond directly to this message and provide the Token Number that was generated.
