hi. Last year we did a covid disaster distribution where we paid tax on 1/3 of amount. Turbo tax does not seem to be handling the balance this year. Help.

Step #6 states to say no if you received a 1099-r for 2021 but that question never gets asked?

It will not be asked if you have already entered a 2021 Form 1099-R and there is a form listed on the screen Your 1099-R Entries.  If there is a form listed and you did not enter the form, then delete the form.
