Form 8915-E
Thank You for your patience
If you are under age 59 1/2, the distribution from the retirement plans and IRAs is considered as an early withdrawal. Generally, you will pay both regular tax plus an additional 10% penalty of your entire distribution unless you met certain criteria. Due to the CARES Act, if your retirement distribution is related the Covid-19, you will not be liable for this additional penalty. You will still pay the normal taxes like your wages and income. For more information from the IRS, click here: Covid Relief. If your distribution is not related to the Covid, you will need to pay the penalty.
As of today 2/12/2021, IRS just completed it's final development of the form.
The Form 8915-E is available if you are going to download to complete on your own from the IRS website. However, e-filing is different. Once the form is finalized by the IRS, it has to be coded into the special language the software uses and has to be thoroughly tested for calculations and e-filing acceptability. IRS then has to approve it for e-file. It always takes a little longer for a form to become available for e-file in a software program. I hope this helps you understand the situation.
