When will Turbo Tax have the updated information from the IRS regarding NO 10% PENALTY for early 401K withdraws due to disaster COVID-19?

[deanbaustin64]

I took a 401K distribution of $100,000 in April 2020. Turbo Tax still in saying I owe the IRS the 10% Early Withdraw penalty of $10,000. When will this get fixed in Turbo Tax?

The Coronavirus-related relief measures for retirement plan distributions have to be reported on form 8915-E which has not yet been finalized by the IRS. No date has been announced yet by the IRS.

TurboTax will update this section shortly after the IRS releases the final version of form 8915-E and its instructions.

Any updates? Will this be updated in time to properly file this year?

CARES Act and 1099-R Withdrawal.

The software has not been updated yet because the form has not been finalized by the IRS. Once the software has been updated, you will be prompted through the form with instructions on how to enter the information.

The IRS has not provided a release date for the form at this time. Use this link IRS Form Availability to watch for when the 8915-E form will be available in the software once the IRS completes it.

Does Turbo Tax have a new date? I just went on to try and complete my taxes and file and the old message regarding the IRS not having it completed and having to revisit the area still appeared.
