Disaster Distribution and this year's taxes

When I filed my taxes last week, I got the selection for Disaster Relief distributions. I thought it said that getting Covid-19 funds in 2020 counted in this category. I can't find any more information about that when I search online. Do the relief checks we received in 2020 count in this category as a disaster relief distribution (which I included on my tax returns for 2020), or is it only if we took money out of IRAs or other retirement funds in 2020 due to Covid-19 that we should check yes?

Just the retirement amounts. Not the stimulus payments. However, as long as you didn't enter any amounts in there you should be fine.

Thank you! Now, I can't go back to that page to uncheck it in the online software when I manually go back through all the sections. It has disappeared. Do you know anything about that?
