I took out 30K from 401K for Qualified Covid Relief.  Instead of paying 1/3 or 10K for each of the 3 years..  Can I pay 20K, 5K, and 5K.

 

That will get me closer to zero payments for this year


Yes, If you pay back $10,000  or more for 2020 there will be no 2020 tax.    The remainder will be split between 2021 and 2022.

 

If you pay back $30,000 for 2020 that will leave $10,000 to be split between 2021 and 2022.
