You have been SO helpful. My problem is that I have a retirement IRA that was NOT touched for Covid relief. However, I had another IRA that was used. When I reviewed my return, it used my first retirement IRA as the info. The numbers are all wrong! How do I pay back the 1/3 for the other IRA that is not listed as a 1099 R form?

Are you referring to withdrawals made in 2020 or in 2021? The IRA that was used for the 3 year distribution spread had to be distributed in 2020 and reported on your 2020 tax return using Form 8915-E.

The other IRA distribution, what tax year was the distribution made?

I'm going to try this one more time before I give UP!

Currently I am a retired educator with an IRA retirement plan. I have NOT taken Covid funds from this account.

I have another IRA from Fidelity. I took a certain amount out of this IRA in 2020. I have a 1099 R form from 2020 showing the amount I took out. I also have the 8915 E form showing how I spread the taxes on it over 3 years. I paid 1/3 the taxes last year.

Turbo Tax asked me: Have you ever taken a disaster distribution before 2021? I said YES. Then it asked me for the info from my 8915 E form. I filled this all out.

However, when I went to print out my tax return, all the information/numbers from my education IRA retirement form was on the 8915 F form NOT the Fidelity information.

There is NO question about about whether or not I have a 1099 R. It just jumps right to the one 1099 R that is NOT related to my withdrawal in 2020. What am I doing wrong?

For the retirement IRA, did you enter that on the 2021 tax return? If you did and it was not for 2021 then that Form 1099-R has to be deleted.

Otherwise, when you started the 2021 return and had two Form 1099-R's from 2020, those transferred to the 2021 return so all you need to do is delete the retirement 1099-R.

If using the online editions -

Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen
