Retirement tax questions

It depends.  It should be there. In fact, I have tested my software to see if this is updated and I have success.

  1. Go to federal>wages and income>all income
  2. Retirement plans and Social Security>show more 
  3. Ira (401K), pension plan Withdrawals(1099R) Start
  4. Here you will enter your 1099R.  After you are done with one and reach a summary screen, there will be an opportunity to enter more 1099's.
    1.  Here you will select the first choice 
    1. I took out this money because of a qualified disaster (includes COVID-19)
    1. Scroll through the next few screens until you reach a screen that says is this a withdrawal due to COVID-19 or a Qualified Disaster Distribution?
    2. You will say yes, this was withdrawn due to COVID 19
    3. Next screen says COVID-19 distribution Here you will indicate that all or some was a COVID 19 withdrawal.
    4. Next will ask about your COVID related stuff.  There is a checkbox that you must answer saying that you were financially impacted by COVID 19. This will waive the early withdrawal penalty.
    5. Then it asks if you repaid the distribution, you can say no unless you did.
    6. Then it asks if you want to pay the tax all the tax this year. leave the check box blank and continue.
    7. This will generate a 8915-E and will spread your taxable amount over a three-year period automatically.
    8. If using Turbo Tax Software, go to the forms mode and look at your  8915 to see if there is a reduction difference between line 16 and 17 of that form
    9. if you continue to have issues, please contact tax support at 1-800-446-8848 so they can look at your screen to pinpoint issues you may be experiencing.
