Retirement tax questions

 "I quoted above that any amount more then line 9 will carry to 2021."

 

you are saying Any amount more than line 9 will carry forward as amount paid back in 2021.

 

I assumed you still paid back in 2020 the amount on line 10.

 

Through all this since February, I guess I was misreading the 8915-E instructions.

You are reading it differently, I'll have to think about that way of looking at it.

 

I've been wondering how to report on 2021 since my line 18 is greater than line 17, 

This changes my whole analysis.
