Get your taxes done using TurboTax

There should be a page in the step-by-step section of your return where you can answer the question about disaster distributions with No.  If you entered any Form 1099-R in your return, you have already seen that question. There is another question for users who did not enter any For 1099-R information.

 

In TurboTax Online, follow these steps to clear the error message.

 

  • Go to Federal / Wages & Income.
  • Scroll down to Wrap up income.
  • Continue.
  • At the screen Did you take a disaster distribution at any time between 2018 and 2020? answer No.
  • Continue through to Federal Review

  In TurboTax Desktop, follow these steps.

  

  • Go to Federal Taxes / Wages & Income / I'll choose what I work on
  • Scroll down and click on Done with income.
  • Continue moving forward until you see a question about whether you took a disaster distribution in 2020 and answer No.
  • Run the Federal Review  again to see whether the error has cleared.

If you have tried these steps and you did not see a question about the disaster distributions in 2020, then repeat the steps for the Deductions & Credits section of your return until the question is located.
