Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes.  You are thinking about it the wrong way.  The refund you received last year related (at least in part) to the tax liability you would incur in years 2 and 3 for the withdrawal.  100% of tax withheld is applied in year withheld.  Normally 100% of the tax on the withdrawal would have had to have been paid also.  The Cares Act permitted us several options.  We could pay the withdrawal back; we could pay the tax liability year 1 or we could opt to spread the liability over 3 years.
