When will COVID-19 information be available for early 401k withdrawals?

Says; You'll need to revisit this area. The IRS instructions related to disaster distributions weren't ready in time for us to include them in this release. Please revisit this area later.

The IRS will be releasing Form 8915-E to use with the 1099-R. Here is more information:

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.

Form 8915-E isn't even listed yet, I'm not sure what that means.

Per the IRS website, both the Instructions and Form for Form 8915-E currently do not have an updated release date.

The draft form was released 11/9/2020.  Please see the Draft Instructions and Form below.

As of today, the IRS has not yet finalized the Form 8915-E for retirement plan distributions under the CARES act, this form cannot be incorporated in the TurboTax program. At this point, the IRS has not corresponded with us when the form will be finalized and available.  We estimate it will be sometime in February 2021 before the form is available.
