The related form for this section (Form 8915-F) will not be available until February 2023 (see IRS forms availability table for TurboTax individual (personal) tax products). If this form doesn't apply to you, try the process below to see if you can resolve the issue and complete your return.

Log out of TurboTax Online, clear your cache & cookies, and close your browser. For the desktop version of TurboTax, start here. Reopen and log back into TurboTax. Open your return and run the Federal Review. If you still see the message about disaster distributions, do the following:

Go to Wages & Income

Scroll to the bottom of the section without making any changes.
Click I'll choose what I work on click Done with Income
Continue moving forward until you see a question about whether you took a disaster distribution in 2020 = No

Run the Federal Review again to see if the issue has been resolved.

If the issue remains, try the steps listed below:

Go to Wages & Income

Scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security
Select IRA, 401(K) Pension Plan Withdrawals(1099-R) >> Continue (you don't need to add any income forms)
Have you ever taken a disaster distribution before 2021? = Yes
Did either of you take a disaster distribution at any time between 2018 and 2022? = No

Run the Federal Review again to see if the issue has been resolved.

If not, you will need to wait until Form 8915-F has been released and repeat this process if necessary.

@jessy2990 This is a known issue that "should" be resolved next week. I'll do my best to update you when it has been resolved. See the info I'm linking below.

Why can't I uncheck the disaster distribution box?
