  2. Click "I'll choose what to work on"
  3. Scroll down and click "Start" next to "IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan (1099-R)"
  4.  On the "Your 1099-R Entries" screen click "edit" next to the Form 1099-R for the Covid distribution
  5. Continue until the "Did you repay any of this distribution" screen and select "I repaid part of this distribution" and enter 1/3 of the distribution amount as repaid on the next screen
