I’m 71 and have been using Turbo Tax for as long as it has been available. This was the worst year ever!
I finally (total 7 frustrating hours after my taxes were done) figured out how to get the 8915-F error away.
1. I deleted 1099-R (retirement distribution NOT due to a disaster or COVID).
2. I created a 1099-R and manually inputted the data.
3. I still got the error for review of 8915-F ( a form that Turbo automated generated) and in review mode Turbo will NOT let you modify it.
4. I looked line by line in forms and found another form that Turbo Tax automatically generated. I think it was 8912. That’s the form you can modify. Uncheck disaster related boxes. Save.
5. Go to review Federal taxes. Make sure the question asking if you had a disaster related to COVID is NO.
6. The error for 8915-F is now gone.
