I properly input a 1099-R early 401k distribution that qualifies for the 3 year deferral. When the question was posed to me if I wanted to spread it over 3 years I originally answered "no" to see the impact to the liability. Now I want to change this to "yes" but I cannot seem to get back to the question if I want to defer over 3 years. I tried removing and re-entering the 1099-R but it only gives me the first set of Q&A ignoring that last question related to the election for deferral. Anyone know how to get back to this question to change the answer?

    And if you are using the desktop version, switch to the forms mode and select the 8915E form and at the bottom of part I you will find line A  and the 3 year check box - uncheck the box.
