Yes, as long as you qualify per the above, you qualify to use the covid related tax relief provided through Form 8915-E. A coronavirus-related distribution is a retirement plan distribution that was made:
1. In 2020 before December 31, 2020; and
2. To a qualified individual - see requirements in the above post.
If (1) and (2) apply, you can generally designate any distribution (including periodic payments and required minimum distributions) from an eligible retirement plan as a coronavirus-related distribution, regardless of why the distribution was made. Coronavirus-related distributions are permitted without regard to your need. Thank you for your service!
