Will the 2022 8915 form tax a third of my distribution like it did in 2020 and 2021? It is adding the whole distribution total to my 2022 income causing a lrg tax bill.

I believe there may be an issue with the "qualified 2020 disaster" section. thanks for your help!

Thank you. That does not fix my problem and it shows that I have to pay thousands of dollars more than I expected because it is showing my income 100k more than what it should show.  When will TurboTax fix this issue?

Solution posted elsewhere:

You have to delete the 2020 Qualified Distribution Worksheet. Then go back through income and revisit the retirement section.

I cannot recreate your issue and it would be helpful to have a TurboTax ".tax2022" file that is experiencing this issue. You can send us a “diagnostic” file that has your “numbers” but not your personal information. If you would like to do this, here are the instructions for TurboTax Online: 

1. From the left menu select Tax Tools. 
2. Then select Tools below Tax Tools. 
3. A window will pop up which says Tools Center.  
4. On this screen, select Share my file with Agent. 
5. You will see a message explaining what the diagnostic copy is. Click okay through this screen and then you will get a Token number. 
6. Reply to this thread with your Token number. This will allow us to open a copy of your return without seeing any personal information.

Perfect.  Thank you.  My token number is 1099756.

Thank you I reviewed your token and you haven't answered the 2020 Qualified Disaster Distribution question. But I saw you had two Form 1099-R entered, are both of them from 2022? Please make sure you do not enter your 2020 Form 1099-R on your 2022 tax return. You will need to answer the 2020 Qualified Disaster Distribution questions to enter the 3rd portion (1/3 of the distribution).

1. Login to your TurboTax Account 
2. Click on the "Search" on the top and type “1099-R”  
3. Click on “Jump to 1099-R” 
4. Enter all your 2022 Form 1099-R (if you don't have any answer "No" to "Did you get a 1099-R in 2022?")
5. After entering your last 2022 Form 1099-R click "Continue" on the “Review your 1099-R info​​​​​​​” screen
6. Answer "Yes" to the "Have you ever taken a disaster distribution before 2022?" screen
7. Answer "Yes" to "Did you take a 2020 Qualified Disaster Distribution?"
8. Check the box next to "If this was a Coronavirus-related distribution reported in 2020 check here" and enter your information from your 2021 Form 9815-F (for example, if you took a $30,000 Covid distribution from a retirement plan (other than IRA) in 2020 and split it over 3 years you will enter $10,000 on line 12 and 13, then $10,000 will be added to line 5b of Form 1040).

[RMTK0808]

Thank you for all of your help.  Another concern, we paid a percentage on our coronavirus distribution in 2020 should that be shown on this year taxes?  Year 2020 & Year 2021 it showed up, I believe on line "25b".  Can you help me with that please?  I sent you a new token: 1100128 Thank you!

[DanaB27]

No, the withheld taxes on the 2020 Form 1099-R were only applied to your 2020 tax return and are not spread over 3 years. Most likely you received some of these taxes back on your 2020 tax return. Please verify that you entered the full amount when you entered Form 1099-R box 4 on your 2020 tax return.  Please verify that you didn't enter 1/3 of the taxes withheld shown on the 2020 Form 1099-R on your 2021 tax return.

I review your token and you entered the 3rd portion correctly.

Working with a TT customer they entered lines 12 and 13 for 20 and 21 distributions (through outside CPA). TT accounted for distributed amounts reducing refund amount appropriately following the interview below. (5b enty)
