Retirement tax questions

Yes, if you created/entered the 2020 Form 1099-R on your 2021 return for a COVID distribution then you will need to delete the 1099-R. You only enter the 2020 Form 1099-R for the COVID distribution on your 2020 return.

 

As ColeenD3 mentioned to report the 2nd part (if you spread it over 3 years) or to enter repayments:

 

  1. Click on the "Search" on the top and type “1099-R”  
  2. Click on “Jump to 1099-R” 
  3. If you do not have any 2021 1099-R answer "No" to "Did you get a 1099-R in 2021?" (If you have any other 1099-R then enter all 1099-R and after entering your last 1099-R click "Continue" on the “Review your 1099-R info​​​​​​​” screen)
  4. Answer "Yes" to the "Have you ever taken a disaster distribution before 2021?" screen
  5. Follow the instructions on the screen

 

Please verify that you check the box next to "If this was a Coronavirus-related distribution reported in 2020 check here". Also, make sure you enter the amount from Form 8915-E, line 9 twice (if it was not from an IRA) or enter the amount from Form 8915-E, line 17 twice (if it was from an IRA). This amount should be 1/3 of your 2020 COVID distribution.
