    TurboTax is asking the correct question for it's needs.  This question has nothing to do with the amount of our distribution that is RMD; TurboTax does not calculate RMDs.  TurboTax asks for the December 31, 2018 balance for one of two reasons, either to use it to prepare Form 8606 Part I or to determine an excess-contribution penalty if an excess IRA contribution was made.
