Retirement tax questions

Qualified 2020 Disaster Retirement Plan Distributions are reported on IRS Form 8915-E.

 

Are you able to elect to report the taxable income from the distribution over three years?  Or does even the one-third put you over the AGI limits that you are referring to?

 

See IRS Coronvirus Relief for Retirement Plans and IRAs under Coronavirus-related distributions from workplace retirement plans and IRAs.

 

Taxes on distributions: 

 

Coronavirus-related distributions:

  • Are included in taxable income
    • Over a three-year period, one-third each year, or
    • If elected, in the year you take the distribution.
  • Are not subject to the 10% additional tax on early distributions (including the 25% additional tax on certain SIMPLE IRA distributions) that may otherwise apply to most withdrawals before age 59 ½
  • Are not subject to mandatory tax withholding, and
  • May be repaid to an IRA or workplace retirement plan within three years, if eligible for tax-free rollover treatment.
