Retirement tax questions

If you did not spread the distribution over 3 years but instead paid all the  taxes on the 2020 return then you don't have to wait for the 8915-F at all.  Federal taxes paid on the 2020 return in 2021  is not a deduction on the federal 2021 return at all ... but a couple of states have a deduction for it ... if yours does it will be in the state interview watch for it there.  2020 State taxes paid on the 2020 return are a federal deduction only if you itemize deductions and are entered in the federal OTHER TAXES section if the program did not transfer them automatically.
