Program keeps asking me to enter info (every blank space) on an "Untitled" 1099-R. I have entered all my 1099-R forms correctly. I did not start another 1099-R! Why?

This seems to be a program bug.

You need to delete the "untitled" 1099-R form.  Use the "trash can" icon to delete the untitled 1099-R on the 1099-R summary screen, or use the Delete a Form feature in TurboTax Online: 

  1. Open or continue your return in TurboTax.
  2. In the left menu, select the dropdown arrow next to Tax Tools and then underneath that Tools.
  3. In the pop-up window Tool Center, choose Delete a form.
  4. Select Delete next to the untitled 1099-R in the list and follow the instructions.

Thank you, the answer was exactly correct!  I only wish I had that answer before I had chosen to use the Mail-in option, because the uncorrected error prevented me from E-filing.  After the correction, I could not get back into Turbo-tax to take advantage of what I'd already paid for.

You can go back to file and chance from mail to e-file.
