I reported 24k cares act disaster distribution in 2020 with tax 3yr repayment. This year TT calculated my payment to be 1/3 of 24k to be 16k. Doesn't seem correct. Is it?

Reporting second year of 2020 Cares Act 1099-R.  Is TT calculation correct?  Seems to me 1/3 of 24 is 8/year for 3 years, no?

Yes, if you spread it over 3 years then it should be $8,000. Please verify that you have the box checked next to "If this was a Coronavirus-related distribution reported in 2020 check here". Then make sure you enter the amount from Form 8915-E, line 9 twice (if it was not from an IRA) or enter the amount from Form 8915-E, line 17 twice (if it was from an IRA). The amount on line 9 or 17 should be $8,000 if your Form 8915-E was filed correctly.
