Question

When will this be available? Filing starts in 2 days! The IRS instructions related to disaster distributions weren't ready in time for us to include them in this release.

Received this message when entering a 1099-R for COVID related 401l withdrawal. "You'll need to revisit this area. The IRS instructions related to disaster distributions weren't ready in time for us to include them in this release. Please revisit this area later." When will the form be updated?! E-Filing starts 2/12/21!!!

The IRS has not yet released its final version of the form, but you can sign up here to receive a notification email once it becomes available.

Taxpayers will use Form 8915-E if they were adversely affected by a qualified 2020 disaster and received a distribution that qualifies for favorable tax treatment.
