Get your taxes done using TurboTax
There is a flaw in the software that I am trying to get to the attention of the developers.
To report the Disaster Distribution income, you need to enter the information under "Retirement Plans/ Social Security" . Under the drop down for 1099-R, answer "no" to a 2021 distribution ----> continue, answer "Yes" to Have you ever taken a disaster distribution before 2021? -----> continue, answer yes to Did you take a 2020 Qualified Disaster Distribution?, then check the box next to If this was a Coronavirus-related distribution reported in 2020 check here.
The problem is, the software is NOT using the questionnaire to populate the form 8915-F, so it calculating the 1/3 total distribution and adding it to your 2021 income, nor is it adding the tax due on the income to your tax bill.
