Retirement tax questions

If you 1099-R has your Social Security Number on it, it belongs to you and you can't apply it to your spouse.  

 

TurboTax wants to verify your age, because there is a Penalty for Early Distribution, normally. 

 

If you are not 59-1/2, and you took an Early Distribution (Code 1 or 2 in Box 7 on your 1099-R) due to hardship caused by Covid, you can spread out the taxable income over a three-year period.

 

This is reported on Form 8915-E which is not yet finalized by the IRS.
