I don't see the "Did you take a disaster distribution at any time between 2018 and 2020" question on my tax return.

Does anyone else have this problem filing their taxes? Disaster Tax Relief : Check if you took a disaster distribution between 2018 and 2020

To make the question about a 'disaster distribution' pop up, you need to enter a 1099-R in the Retirement section under Wages/Income. 

 

If you elected to spread your distribution over three years, enter the amount as one-third of the amount on your original 1099-R.  

 

You should then come to a screen asking for info from your 2021 return.

 

Here's more info on Entering Disaster Distributions
