Entering tax on a missed RMD in ProConnect

How do I enter tax on a missed RMD on form 5329 (Part IX - Additional Tax on Excess Accumulation in Qualified Retirement Plans).  It only allows entries for calculating Part I of that form.  I'm accessing the form through the 1099-R input screen.  Is there an additional location for this entry or will that form need to be completed manually?

Aren't you going to ask for a waiver for some reasonable cause?

The more I know, the more I don't know.

Yes, but I'm pretty sure this part of the form should be completed and sent with a statement requesting a waiver.

I've always requested a waiver of the total amount, and ProSeries has always filled out the form as the instructions require.  Your results may vary with ProConnect, although I doubt it. 

Waiver of tax for reasonable cause. The IRS can waive part
or all of this tax if you can show that any shortfall in the amount
of distributions was due to reasonable error and you are taking
reasonable steps to remedy the shortfall. If you believe you
qualify for this relief, attach a statement of explanation and file
Form 5329 as follows.
1. Complete lines 52 and 53 as instructed.
2. Enter “RC” and the amount of the shortfall you want
waived in parentheses on the dotted line next to line 54. Subtract
this amount from the total shortfall you figured without regard to
the waiver, and enter the result on line 54.
3. Complete line 55 as instructed. You must pay any tax due
that is reported on line 55.

Hi there, 

Entries for Part IX, including RMD shortfall waivers, are on the Taxes > Retirement Plan Taxes (5329) screen:
