Deluxe Turbo Tax, after entering a 1099-R, it asks several screens later to confirm the RMD again which increases the taxes owed, is this correct? I had taxes deducted.

For Deluxe Turbo Tax, after entering a 1099-R, turbo tax asks to confirm the RMD again which then increases the taxes owed, is this correct? I already entered and paid federal taxes. It seems like I'm declaring to much RMD i.e. doubling the RMD. Should this input be $0. I.e., is Turbo tax really asking if I took all the RMD, which I did.

If you met your RMD for 2024 then you shouldn't have a penalty on Form 5329. Please review your answers. Sometimes it helps to delete and reenter Form 1099-R. 

If you have code D in box 7 then please see Why am I getting an error when entering Form 1099-R box 7 code 7D?
