Question

2020 disaster distribution 1/3 is not showing on my federal income, even after I entered the (8919E) information from the previous year, anyone else having this issue?

This is related to a 2020 Cares retirement distribution that I took

If you went through the screens, you should see 1/3 of the amount of your 2020 distribution on Line 4b or 5b, nothing on Lines 4a or 5a (relating to the covid amount).    Make sure you answered the follow up questions as follows:

 

  1. Search for 1099-R and use the Jump to 1099-R link.
  2. Either answer NO to the question or if you don't get a question, scroll down and click Continue or Done.
  3. On the Did you take any disaster distributions in prior years or repay any distributions in 2021?  Answer YES.
  4. On the Did you take a 2020 Qualified Disaster Distribution?  Answer YES. You will get a drop-down screen.
  5. Mark the box that says This was a 2020 coronavirus distribution.
  6. Enter the amount on your 2020 8915-E form, Line 4b.
  7. Fill in the boxes using your 2020 Form 8915-E.  See Image.
  8. The next screen asks about repayments not reported on your 2020 return.
  9. Answer NO to the Did you take a disaster distribution in 2017-2019?  unless you did.

 

TurboTax will generate From 8915-F and add it to your return.   Preview your 1040 to see the taxable portion reflect on either Line 4b or 5b, depending on your plan type.
