Cares Act Covid-19 distribution from 401k 2020 broken up over 3 years (2020, 2021, 2022) Did not receive a new 1099-R for 2021. Turbo tax doesn't ask for info for this?

That didn’t help unfortunately. I have mine 11, 12, 14, 13 from my prior 2021 8915F. There’s an issue with the software because no matter what I put in the boxes or how I answer the questions, it will not show an amount

If you are reporting the third year of a Qualified Disaster Distribution, you will report 1/3 of the 2020 distribution.  Follow these steps to the screen Did You Take a 2020 Qualified Disaster Distribution:

 

  • Down the left side of the screen, click on Federal.
  • Down the left side of the screen, click on Wages & Income.
  • Click Edit / Add to the right of IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals.
  • At the screen Here's your 1099-R info, click Continue.
  • Continue to the screen Did You Take a 2020 Qualified Disaster Distribution.

If you are reporting the third year of a Qualified Disaster Distribution, you will report 1/3 of the distribution:

 

  • on lines 11 and 13 for retirement plans (other than IRA's) or
  • on lines 22 and 24 for traditional, SEP, SIMPLE and Roth IRA's.

To be able to electronically file, there is a workaround by @DanaB27 concerning checking the box If this was a Coronavirus-related distribution reported in 2020, check here at the screen Did you take a 2020 Qualified Disaster Distribution?  

 

  1. Answer "Yes" to "Did you take a 2020 Qualified Disaster Distribution?"
  2. If the box is checked, uncheck the box next to "If this was a Coronavirus-related distribution reported in 2020 check here" and click Continue.
  3. On the "Which disaster affected you in 2020?" screen I selected the blank entry and click "back
  4. Then recheck the box next to "If this was a Coronavirus-related distribution reported in 2020 check here" and Continue.

I’ve done these steps over 100x

no matter what I do it won’t show on the Home Screen the final $10k I’m trying to report. Last year was very easy. This year I put in line 11, 13, 12 etc. I even messed with it by putting different numbers, leaving it blank etc and nothing changes. I’ve unchecked the corona box and continued etc and back and re checked and I still don’t see it. How can I check before finalizing that the form 8915F was actually completed because on the Home Screen no matter what I do it won’t show
