I have two 2018 forms 1099-R to enter. Why am I being asked about Disaster Distributions?

My only income in 2018, besides wages and bank interest, was IRA distributions from my late Mom's accounts.

TurboTax is aware of this issue and is currently working on a solution.

As a workaround, you can answer "no" to the question "Was this a Qualified Disaster Distribution?" and when asked "What type of disaster affected you in 2017?" leave the selection blank and hit continue. This will not affect any calculations and you will be able to E-file.
