yes, but the form 8606 is not done yet.

Maybe thats the issue?

Yes, There is what I consider a bug when there is a 8606. The 8915-E form needs line 15b from the 8606 form but TurboTax does not calculate and populate the 8606 line 15b currently. That results in an error on the 8606 since it wants a "user entered" value of the part of line 15a that was COVID related - usually all of it .

Running the Federal error check will ask for the 15b value or you can switch to the forms mode and enter the line 15a amount into line 15b.

Then the 8915-E will calculate the correct taxable amount on 1040 4b.
