Unable to complete my tax filing - Early Distribution from 401K for Qualified Disaster

[vcastell]

I had an early distribution from my 401k due to a qualified disaster in 2024 and I am unable to proceed in providing more information and the FEMA disaster number. I receive the below message.

Unfortunately, changes related to qualified disaster distributions and repayments weren't ready in time for us to include them in this release. Please revisit this area later.

When will this functionality be available? It is preventing me from completing my taxes for 2024.

Thanks

Thanks. Looks like the form will be available on Feb. 20th. Let us hope there are no delays.

Shows that it should be available today (per yesterday, now it shows as available) but still getting the exact same message -

I am having the same issue.  What form exactly are we waiting on?  

[craignseansmom]

It is form 8915-F Qualified Disaster Retirement Plan... It was previously showing it would be available today. Today it shows it is there, but still getting the same message when trying to finalize.  :(

I get the same error. Do we know when Turbotax will upload the form

The Form 8915-F Qualified Disaster Retirement Plan Distributions and Retirements should be available now.

If you are using the TurboTax desktop editions you will need to update your software.

Click on Online at the top of the desktop program screen.  Click on Check for Updates

If you are using the TurboTax online editions, that software is automatically updated.

I get the same error. 1099-R: 2024 Disaster Distribution Checkbox - you can't file just yet. This may mean a better tax outcome for taxpayers like you have 2024 Qualified Disaster Distributions.

I am using the online edition - nothing to update and getting the same message.  Other ideas?

[SaltySeay]

using online and just did another review with the same error.

The online edition may not have been updated.  It may be the update will happen late today.  So check back tomorrow to see if the problem persists.

I am using the desktop app, do you know what is going on here?

[vcastell]

I called the support line and they recommended that we wait until Friday afternoon which is Feb 21st. There were updates pushed earlier today but it does not have the released 8915-F form.
