    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)

     

    Are you able to enter 'Coronavirus' or 'Virus SARS-CoV-2' and pass Federal Review?

    At the screen Did you take a 2020 Qualified Disaster Distribution?, I clicked Yes, you had a 2020 Qualified Disaster Distribution.

     

    I also checked If this was a Coronavirus-related distribution reported in 2020 check here.

     

    Where were you asked to input a FEMA number?

      Did either of you take a disaster distribution at any time between 2018 and 2020?

       I answered yes, it then said to return to 1099 screen

       

      In the 1099 screen  

      Have you ever taken a disaster distribution before 2021?

       

      I answered yes

       

      Then input what i took it in 2020 due to covid and entered my information from last year's 8915E.  When turbo tax was final reviewing my federal it stated I needed to answer  need reviewed.  It stated to "Check this Entry" Disaster Name Must be Entered
