I am not a tax expert, but I think the TAX EXPERT up above who stated, "Yes. Effective March 13, 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic is a qualifying natural disaster. The COVID-19 pandemic is a “federally declared disaster,” as defined by section 165(i)(5)(A) of the Code. " Should also specify that the Natural Disaster question on Turbo Tax clearly states, "Select Yes only if you were affected by a federally declared natural disaster that was declared BEFORE February 19, 2020".
How can you answer YES to the natural disaster question due to Covid, if it wasn't declared until March 12th 2020, when Turbo Tax ask if you were affected BEFORE Feb 19th 2020?
