Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@LinaJ2020  But it looks like all of the taxes withheld from my distribution are being used for 2020 taxes and not only a third.

 

 


Yes,  that is correct.   Any tax withholding can only be applied to the tax year in which it was withheld.  The CARES Act allowed the distribution to be spread over 3 years, not any tax withheld.   You get the excess tax withheld as a refund which is the object of the CARES Act - to put more money in your pocked now.
