@MAK70 suggests you try these steps: 

 

If you did not take a disaster distribution from your pension funds between 2018 and 2020, there may be a question that needs to be reviewed.  Follow these steps.  

  • Go to Federal / Wages & Income.
  • Scroll down to Wrap up income.
  • Continue.
  • At the screen Did you take a disaster distribution at any time between 2018 and 2020? answer No

Now watch the headings under Federal closely.  

  • When you are in Deductions & Credits
  • Scroll down and click on Wrap up tax breaks.
  • Then you are in Other Tax Situations.
  • Scroll down and click on Let's keep going.
  • Continue through to Federal Review

Form 8915-E is for if you were adversely affected by a qualified 2020 disaster or impacted by the coronavirus and you received a distribution that qualifies for favorable tax treatment

 

ADDITIONALLY, you may edit your 1099-R entry where the question will again be asked.
