we contacted IRS. they said to submit the custodians letter, and our letter asking for a waiver from a penalty and form 5329 Right or wrong? How to do with turbo tax?

Yes, you must file form 5329 but I would send a copy of the letter and keep the original. I have another post with step by step entry all the screen shots to ask for waiver.

If you want to send the custodians letter, you will need to print and mail your return. I have another post on mailing a return.
