How do we get past the fee for withdrawing from a 401k due to covid-19? There is no process in turbotax to forego this penalty like is supposed to.

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.
