After entering a 1099-R for a 401(k) to Roth 401(k) rollover, TurboTax asks me "What type of disaster" affected me in 2017. How do I tell it that I had no disaster?

For "Is this reporting a rollover from 401(k) to Roth 401(k)" I answered Yes.
For "Did you make any after-tax contributions yourself, rather than your company on your behalf" I answered No.
This did not come from a public safety officer employment.

There are no options to say "no disaster," just Hurricanes and/or wildfires.

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.

There isn’t a No button?  Try skipping it and hit continue.

It might be a new bug in the latest release.

There is no "no" button. If I select blank (meaning, I don't select hurricane OR wildfires, it tells me I owe taxes on the $0 qualified disaster distribution for my hurricane. Which I suppose is technically true, but I had no hurricane and had no disaster distribution.
