So I'm curious.  The full amount  I took out of 401k in 2020 was reflected in my income last year.

So did I pay the full amount on it ? 

I did the 3 year split I thought. 

How do I know if I need to do the 8915 form? 


Look at your 2020 1040 form line 5a and 5b.  If line 5b is 1/3 the amount in box 1 on your 2020 1099-R form then you elected to spread it over 3 years.
