Your position was my exact position. If you go back through the posts here, there is one where I posted some snippets of screen shots.
All of my comments were what I found with my ONLINE VERSION. Someone using downloaded software could be similar but probably not the same.
TT generates tax forms based on the questions you answer and dollar figures you put in their "customer friendly" format. You do not manually create a form and then fill it out. When you go to fill out the section under federal income/retirement and 1099R , you will get questions concerning disaster distributions. this is what will generate a 8915F and you can see it by going to the print center and downloading/viewing it. Once it has been made incorrectly, it apparently will not remove current data on that form unless you go and delete both of those forms, and refill things out again.
Side note.. when you are re entering your distribution income info which seems lengthy, make sure you finish out the section far enough. I do not know at what point TT decides to create the form. I finished out the income section and hit continue like I was going into deductions and then got out to check the 8915F in the print section.
What worked for me, has worked for others... it is doable but is what I would consider a "work around". If you wait a while, I would expect someone at TT to "fix" it, or make it more automatic.
I am not an expert, I just have spent WAY to much time poking at TT this year.
