I have been using TT Deluxe for years but this year have run into a problem as I am not being given the option to enter the numbers regarding my wife's IRA RMD
The software is only producing an 8606T for me.
Anyone else having this problem? How can I overide this glitch to reflect my wifes IRA RMD and value of her IRA acct at the end of 2019?? Thanks for your help

Form 8606 is not used to report the RMD for an IRA. Form 8606 is used to report the following:
So, if your wife's IRA didn't have any of these, your tax return won't have a 8606 for her.
You generally get the IRA RMD questions as a part of the 1099-R distribution interview. But, you only need to answer the questions if your wife did not take an RMD. TurboTax asks those questions to "know" if you need to pay the penalty for not taking an RMD.
Make sure that you indicated that the Form 1099-R reporting your wife's RMD distribution is your wife's Form 1009-R, not yours. Assuming that her distribution was truly from a traditional IRA and not from a qualified retirement plan like a 401(k), make sure that you have correctly marked the IRA/SEP/SIMPLE box on TurboTax's 1099-R form to match the marking on the Form 1099-R provided by the payer.
Click the Continue button on the Your 1099-R Entries page to reach the questions that ask about your wife's basis in nondeductible traditional IRA contributions.
Isnt an 8606 filed if she made nondeductible contributions she made to traditional IRAs in the past???
The TT 1099 distribution interview is asking me to submit the info about my 1099R for my 2019 RMD
It has auto populated the amount of non deductible totals from my previous 2018 filing
BUT the 1099-R distribution interview is not prompting me about the same info about my wife's 2019 RMD and past nondeductible contributions she made to her traditional IRA in past years
Thanks for your help
As I described above, this suggests that you have not indicated that the Form 1099-R received by your wife is actually your wife's Form 1099-R. Edit your wife's 1099-R form in TurboTax and make sure on the next page that you correctly verify the owner of the 1099-R. Also make sure that the IRA/SEP/SIMPLE box on the Form 1099-R is marked to agree with the marking on the Form 1099-R. Only an RMD reported with code 7 and the IRA/SEP/SIMPLE box marked gets reported on this Form 8606.
My RMD were entered, but Turbo Tax Deluxe give me her 1099-R data. at best you forms and 1099R forms are disconnected. Can only use SSA or Canadian (I am not). How to I enter my wife's IRA distributions?
I did mine, filinig joint return, but noting comes up to enter. Doesnt' ask if I want another form, or anything ab out my wife. So can I keep the $1M as no taxable?????????????
We'll automatically generate and fill out Form 8606 (Nondeductible IRAs) if you reported any of these on your tax return:
However, if any of these 3 situations apply to you:
then you'll have to download and print Form 8606, manually fill it out (instructions), and print and file your return, as you won't be able to e-file.
To trigger the 8606 in TurboTax
For the 4 situations listed at the top of this article, you can trigger Form 8606 with these instructions:
Tip: On joint returns, 8606-T stands for "taxpayer" (first person listed on the return) and 8606-S denotes "spouse."
