Why would it not decrease the taxable amount of the distribution? If you have repaid your distribution, you would owe zero tax. So changing that option, for example, should make a huge difference in the taxable amount. Maybe I am not understanding your comment.

 

The amount on 1040 Schedule 2 line 6 is $95. Not sure where that is coming from.


It does make a difference.  Removing the taxable amount of the distribution by indicating you paid it all back leaves a 0 amount on line 4b.

Any federal income taxes withheld and reported in box 4 of the 1099-R is entered as a tax payment on Form 1400 Line 25b, regardless if you paid the distribution back or not.

 

Schedule 2 Line 6 is the 10% early distribution penalty which also should not be entered if this was a Covid-19 distribution.

It sure looks like you will need to clear the return and start over.
