No, each parent's RMD should be reported individually on their Married Filing Jointly return. The prior year should be checked in case there needs to be an amendment filed.

How do I file an amended return?

No. The RMD question only comes up if there is a 1099-R to enter for *that* spouse.

Are you saying that both spouses failed to take the 2019 RMD?

What was the 1099-R for the one spouse for?

Did you indicate that the 2019 RMD was not taken and was a 5329 penalty waiver created?
