I keep getting RMD total not distributed, needs review. My return is done but will not let me e-file until I’ve corrected something I already reported

How do you get around the RMD total not distributed even though all 1099 R income is correctly reported. Not allowing me to e-file

Currently in the TurboTax program, when you satisfied 100% of your RMD’s by taking more than the RMD from one (or more) accounts and less than the RMD from one (or more) accounts, you need to make some adjustments in your entries.  If this applies to you and you are confident that you met 100% of your RMD's, please see below:
 

  • When entering your 1099-R’s, as you walk through the RMD questions, DO NOT enter an RMD amount greater than the distribution amount.  If the RMD for that account is larger than the distribution, then use the distribution amount as the RMD for that 1099-R and add the difference to the RMD for the 1099-R for the account that you took less than the RMD from.

Our programmers are currently working to improve the RMD section experience.  Be sure to sign up for email updates here: Why am I getting an RMD distribution amount error?

As the subject says, I keep getting RMD total not distributed.  However, I have entered the information several times and for each my wife and me, the RMD is shown as less than our respective distributions.  So I do not understand why I keep getting this error message and cannot have the return transmitted to the IRS.

 

Is this an error in your software that you have not corrected in the several weeks when customers have brought it to your attention
