Form 1099-R, Box 12 - FATCA filing requirement is an optional field to complete. It is usually completed by foreign financial institutions, if required, or if a U.S. 1099-R payer is required to check this box due to foreign information reporting rules.

If this box is not checked on your copy and you imported it into TurboTax, it may help to delete this one and enter it manually.
