When I amend here in Turbo tax it really isn't allowing me to go back through whole process to choose to pay all of penalties for 2020.

Please be aware, TurboTax does not calculate your penalties and interest. That will be calculated by the IRS and you will receive a bill from the IRS.  Please see IRS Make a Payment for options to pay your bill.

Please follow these steps to enter your 1099-R and trigger Form 8915-E:

1. Login to your TurboTax Account 
2. Click on "Search" on the top right and type “1099-R”
3. Click on “Jump to 1099-R” and enter your 1099-R for the 2020 Covid distribution
4. Continue until "Tell us if any of these uncommon situations apply" screen
5. Select "I took out this money because of a qualified disaster (includes COVID-19)" 
6. Answer all follow-up questions carefully

Those who qualify as individuals directly impacted by the pandemic will be able to withdraw up to $100k from their retirement accounts without facing the 10% early withdrawal penalty.

You qualify if:

• You, your spouse, or your dependent are diagnosed with COVID-19
• You experience adverse financial consequences as a result of being quarantined, furloughed, or laid off or having work hours reduced because of COVID-19
• You’re unable to work due to child care closure or hour reduction because of Covid-19
• You experience adverse financial consequences as a result of closing or reducing hours of a business that you own or operate due to SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19.

You can choose to have the distribution taxed over 2020, 2021, and 2022 instead of only in 2020. You’ll have three years to pay back the funds you withdrew, without the amount impacting that year’s cap on contributions. If you pay back the amount within that time, you’ll be able to claim a refund on those taxes paid when you file an amended tax return. Please see IRS Coronavirus-related relief for retirement plans and IRAs for more details.
