I took out a 401k withdrawal as part of the cares act. I want to spread the income over 3 years, how do I do that when my 1099-R shows the total amount of withdrawal

The IRS has a new Form 8915-E for COVID-19 related retirement account withdrawals.  This form has not been finalized by the IRS for filing with a 2020 federal tax return.  The IRS has not announced when this form will be available.  Once available it will be included in the TurboTax software.

We estimate the form may be available sometime in February.
