Cares act 401k withdrawal Turbotax doesn't offer option as cares act when filing

Many people have asked this question and I've seen people say when you file and input your 1099-R Turbotax will ask if this was from the cares act or something along those lines, but I've had no such option. I just tried to re-add it and same thing it's not there. There is also another form apparently I need that hasn't been released because I do qualify for the cares act withdrawal, but I just wanted to have my filing ready correctly so I can just add that when it's released and be done.

Also, I was reading that you can claim your distributions for this over the next 3 years? Is that true? Can I claim $0 this year and pay half next year and the remaining half the following year or does it need to be split evenly?

The Coronavirus-related relief measures for retirement plan distributions have to be reported on form 8915-E which has not yet been finalized by the IRS. No date has been given by the IRS for the finalization of this document.

 

TurboTax will update this section after the IRS releases the final version of form 8915-E and its instructions. Please revisit this section at a later date.

Okay thank you. I thought I was crazy missing the option.
