I did not specify that I had "received a withdrawal of an excess traditional IRA contribution". Why am I getting the "Explain Excess Withdrawal" prompt?

Actually, before I read your answer, I checked last years program and discovered that I did indeed enter the total 1099-R charity donations, and the 1040 had the total IRA distributions on line 4a, and the taxable amount on line 4b.   The 1040has "QCD" by the line 4b box.  

I also re-opened last year's input screen to be sure the charity and donations had the total donation amount correct, not just the amount without the direct donation from the IRA.
