Did not take RMD in 2019, TURBOTAX let me include form 5329 but would not allow the zero distribution in the 1099-R

What do you mean?     How can you enter a 1099-R if you did not take any distribution and receive a 1099-R?

You also cannot complete a 5329 part IX (lines 52-55) to request a waiver of the missed RMD penalty in the online versions without a 1099-R, but it can be done using the desktop versions in the forms mode.   (Online requires attaching a separate paper 5329 to a mailed return.)

for any qualified retirement plan no RMD was required for 2019.

@Anonymous - The poster said 2019.    The CARES act applies to 2020 RMD's, not 2019.
