Is anyone noticing on the last several Form 1040s they are completing that error messages are preventing efiling if the 1099R form is not completed by answering the RMD questions.

I could swear that during the first 15-20 returns I completed, where I completed 1099R information for basic distributions from an IRA for example, I did not fill in and complete the RMD question or the RMD worksheet (and the worksheet is a new worksheet I believe this year).  Now here on the last several returns I have done, if I do not complete this RMD question, I am getting an error message.  

Further, many 1099R forms that I am filling are for the classic traditional pension distributions, and the RMD question is not even applicable.   

Lastly, I don't know for a number of clients if their distribution is actually satisfying their RMD or not.  In many cases I do know from experience, but in others I simply do not know, and I would have to do the full comprehensive calculation to be sure.    Am I missing something here>  Did proseries change the software for these 1099R RMD scenarios this year.   I have used pro series for years, and I never remember getting questions for this and error messages for this.  Thank you.
