Unable to e-file tax returns

AnnaMSil — Tue, 24 Feb 2026 06:09:09 GMT

Greetings,

I am getting this message:

Form 8915F-T: ou indicated that there were retirement distributions received in 2022 related to a disaster that occured in 2021 or 2022. It requires Part I of Form 8915-F which had not been finalized yet. Do no file this part of the calculation is finalized in the upcoming release.

I updated the Turbo tax software (Turbo Tax Deluxe 2022) today. From your website, it appears that the form is available within the software for both.

I was able to bypass this error, meaning there was no hard stop, and make my payment but the software is not allowing me to e-file my Federal and state returns. Can you please help me resolve this?

Go back to the Retirement Income section for the Form 1099-R and on the screen where you were asked if you took a distribution in 2021 due to a non-Covid disaster, answer No.

See if this will now allow you to e-file the 2022 tax return.

Greetings,

I could not see in the program where this entry is. I reviewed the Wages and Income section and could not find the wording you pointed out. Could you please provide this to me.

Thanks

Greetings Again,

I deleted my entries and readded the 1099-R information. I received the same error as before. Is there something I may have missed? I continue to get the same error that I shared.

Thanks

Anna

Please try logging completely out of the TurboTax website, then clear your browser's cache and delete cookies to see if that clears up the error. A full or corrupted cache can keep TurboTax from functioning properly. If that doesn't work, try a different browser.

I had the same problem. I clicked button "form" (right hand corner on top), I searched for 8915 F-Form, above is an old form: 8915 E. You uncheck the box "yes" or "no" (depends on your tax situation). Mine I unchecked the "yes" box because I did not withdraw any IRA money from my IRA account for qualified disaster withdraw reason. Voila! No more error when I reran the Smart Check. Hope it helps.
