Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Please be aware, that you cannot e-file for years prior to 2022, you'll need to print and mail your amended return. Please see How do I amend my federal tax return for a prior year? and Can I e-file my 1040X to amend my return for additional information.

 

To verify, when you started your amended return the refund counter stated $0, correct? If the amended return states you are getting a refund after making changes, it seems it calculated a refund and you might want to check your entries.

 

  1. Login to your TurboTax Account 
  2. Click on "Search" on the top right and type “1099-R” 
  3. Click on “Jump to 1099-R”
  4. Click "Continue" on the “Review your 1099-R info” screen
  5. Answer "Yes" to the "Have you ever taken a disaster distribution before 2021?" screen
  6. Answer "Yes" on the "Did either of you take a disaster distribution at any time between 2018 and 2020?" screen 

Please sure you enter the amount from Form 8915-E, line 9 twice (if it was not from an IRA) or enter the amount from Form 8915-E, line 17 twice (if it was from an IRA). This amount should be 1/3 of your 2020 COVID distribution.

 

If you have a balance due then you can also pay on the IRS Payment site.
