You'll likely need to provide more info before anyone can help you. If someone is not familiar with a Wisconsin state return in this user community forum, we can tell you how to phone TurboTax Support.

Since you appear to be using the online Self-Employed Edition, I'll assume you are asking about a personal tax return.

First of all, what kind of early withdrawal penalty--and from what??? Are you asking about a retirement plan (what kind), an ordinary CD, or what?

Are you able to post the exact error message?

I'm having the same issues as the penalty is associated with retirement withdrawal and the COVID exception. It reads: Penalties on IRA, We're still working on updates related to penalties on IRAs, retirements, MSA distributions (Form 1099-R) that qualify for disaster or covid relief. You can keep working on your return and we'll remove this message when it's ready.

Do you know when this will be ready?

So your issue is also in regard to a Wisconsin state form?

Sorry, I don't know if it's ready or not in regards to any Covid exception waiver on penalties on retirement issues related to disaster or Covid relief, but I will tell you how you may be able to find out below.

But first, are you using the desktop product (CD/download)? If so, be sure your product is up to date. Have you updated your product with the latest program updates?

I'll see if one of the forum helpers familiar with retirement situations might be able to comment on this penalty waiver in regards to disaster or Covid relief, if not specifically in regards to Wisconsin, then perhaps in general.

@ dmertz When you are next in the forum, are you familiar with this issue of retirement plan withdrawal and penalty waiver due to Covid and have any word for the user? Thanks!

If you don't get help in this user community forum, here's how to speak to the folks at TurboTax Support.

I’m having the exact same issue. Waited for federal form 8915 and thought the early withdrawal penalty issue was resolved. Now I’m getting the form 1 error message for

the state of Wisconsin that provides no guidance other than “just keep working on your return!”Theres nothing left for me to work on! Ugh!!!

Just got off the phone with TT. Wisconsin update is supposed to be done on 3/15/21.

Going to try the free e-file on the WI website can't be that difficult. ... Right?

Good luck

Anyone have any luck filing their WI return with the early distribution error? I just tried and can’t get it to go through.

I had the same result trying this morning. I am hoping it is like the 8915-E update and will be updated for use tomorrow. Time will tell.

Does anyone know if Taxact or HRblock has this issue? I’ve been patient for over a month now

This is a state issue, since the IRS was very delayed with the form 8915-E, many states have not finished their forms, therefore TurboTax is waiting on the updates.

I am having the same problem. Every time I talk to a turbo tax rep they can’t help me. I have been waiting weeks for this to get fixed. Thought I would be good to go once the COVID relief form came out. Has anyone got this to work

I just got off an hour and a half phone call and the response that I got was that this issue will be fixed on March 25th. I shared my screen and then the person I was talking to, spoke to some sort of "tiered" support and then they told her March 25th. So...fingers crossed I guess.

I just checked my taxes and looks like the error for 401K early withdrawal penalty for WI is now FIXED! I passed review with no errors this time so looks like ready to file! Hoping everyone else is able too now as well!
