Retirement tax questions

No.  I did COVID-19 distribution of $90k from 401k (former employer), and then reinvested $78k of that in my IRA, as my former employer would not accept repayments/deposits since I am no longer an employee.  Therefore, I have $12k of taxable income.  


Right...Tried using the numbers you provided and the amount rolled over to the IRA, I can only see the entire $12,000 as taxable income regardless of how this is designated, pay the same year or over 3 years.

I will page a couple of other users who may have an explanation of why you are seeing only the entire amount as taxable in 2020.  @macuser_22 or @dmertz  could you review this please.
