Pension deduction worksheet/early w/draw due to Covid-19. Retirement distribution. Federal Amount. When will this be fixed?

mreschke71 — Fri, 26 Feb 2021 16:15:24 GMT

Why do I keep getting an error for my Michigan return? It states, "Pension Deduction Worksheet: Federal Amount we're still working on updates related to retirement distributions that qualify for disaster or covid relief. You can keep working on your return and we'll remove this message when it's ready." I can not go any further. I already had to wait until 2/25/2021 for the 8915E form and now I am being stopped by this. I don't want to have to mail in my return because it is quicker to e-file. Is there anyway around this error. Very Frustrating.

I'm in the same boat. Waiting on my refund, and would rather just file together so I don't have to do a separate filing with State. Intuit, please let us know when this will be fixed. Earliest I can schedule a "Talk with an Expert" is March 10. that's a bit ridiculous.

I managed to get through to someone on chat. They said ETA is March 4 for this to be updated. I guess will just have to check back next week... sigh. I could really use that money sooner than later.

Same thing happened to me as well in WI. Turbo Tax updated this morning but the same error message is there stating..."Continue to work on the rest of your return..." I'm finished but can't e-file until this ONE error is corrected.

You need to delete the 1099-R that was previously entered, and re-enter Form 1099-R.

I've already filed my federal taxes, Can I delete the 1099-R on the federal entry screen to fix my state tax?

Same issue - Michigan return and covid distributions on 1099-R. Stuck on Needs Review FIX button keeps cycling and won't allow moving forward to finish return. Client WANTS refund and has been patiently waiting since February 20. The 8915-E fix happened by Feb 25, but not for the states.

Just tried deleting the 1099-R and re-entering it. Also tried setting taxability for the current year rather than over 3-years. Neither approach works. ANYONE have any clue when this will get beyond the message (see below)?

I just tried again this morning too, and still same state (Michigan) error. I don't know if it's a state issue or TurboTax issue though. Can't hurt for everyone to report the error though so hopefully we can get this resolved soon. Tax filing is due in a little over a month, yet it's not fixed yet. That's really unacceptable.

3/25? Man, that sucks. I really needed this money before the end of the month. I guess I at least hope the stimulus checks come through to tide me over.
