I am attempting to complete my tax return now that Form 8915-f has been released.  

I have answered the questions that require information from the 2020 tax return in relation to spreading the early withdrawal out over 3 years.. no problem.

When I have completed the return and run the smart check, it wants me to give a name for the disaster, So I labeled it Coronavirus, however, on the actual form, it has inserted that into Section C where it asks for a FEMA number, but it specifically says don't use Coronavirus.  If I take it out, I get the error telling me to name the Disaster.

Any answers on this?

    Appendix B Qualified Disaster Areas by Year from Instructions for Form 8915-F states:

     

    Virus SARS-CoV-2 or coronavirus disease 2019 (referred to collectively in these instructions as coronavirus)

     

    Movement in the document by {control F} to view.

     

    You may try 'Virus SARS-CoV-2'.
