Distribution for COVID19 under the CARES Act

We took Distribution from our 401K in 2019 under the CARES Act.  We had Taxes taken out before the money was sent to us, we entered that info on our taxes last year (2020). 

One of the questions on this year's return is "Did either of you take a disaster distribution at any time between 2018 & 2020?" 

We did but have already paid taxes on that - if I answer yes, it wants me to wait to report 1/3 of the amount ... but we already claimed the total/had taxes paid on the total.   Do I answer NO - seems like lying...
