TurboTax now supports the reporting of 2016 Qualified Disaster Distributions. For your distribution to be a 2016 Qualified Disaster Distribution, you yourself must be the one who lived in a disaster area declared by the President and suffered an economic loss as a result. Using the money to help another does not make you the one who sustained the economic loss as a result of the hurricane and your distribution would not be a Qualified Disaster Distribution.
