You need the form 8915-F for the disaster distribution. If you have not been through the retirement plan section and activated it, you need to:

  1. Get a copy of your 2020 form 8915-E
  2. Open your return
  3. Go to the Federal Income section
  4. Scroll down to retirement plans
  5. Select the IRA, 401k, Pension, start/edit
  6. Did you receive a 1099-R, no
  7. Did you take a disaster distribution?, yes
  8. Qualified 2020, yes
  9. Coronavirus related distribution, check the box
  10. answer using your 8915-E, line 4b or 5b from 2020. You will enter 1/3 of the distribution on either line 9 or line 17. Leave the other lines blank.
  11. Click done with income
  12. Did you take a disaster distribution any time between 2018-2020? No - this seems wrong but you have already answered the question and don't want to loop around.
