tax on excess accumulations in retirement account

[dilerin]

2024 online taxes:

We have two separate 401K's and a matching1099-R for each, covering the RMD's. I have entered them each separately.

I have a third 1099-R for a retirement account (Olin) that has been paying the exact same amount monthly for the last 29 years which does not require an RMD.

Turbo Tax now, for the first time, reports "tax on excess accumulations in retirement account" and includes a large tax fine. There is no "excess accumulation" in any account, so how do I find out which account is flagged and how do I get rid of the problem? I have already reviewed all 1099-R's but there is nothing that needs editing.

I have not encountered this problem with Turbo Tax in previous years.

What is the code in box 7 for the third Form 1099-R? Did TurboTax ask you for the RMD for this account? If yes, can you enter $0.

Please see Can an account owner just take a RMD from one account for additional information.

For each Form 1099-R, enter as the amount required to be distributed only the amount required for that particular account, not the total amount required for all accounts.  For the pension, enter as the required amount the gross amount distributed.
