Covid disaster distribution

FZ2671 — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 04:14:35 GMT

I took a covid disaster distribution in 2020 and claimed 1/3 of the amount in tax years 2020, 2021, and 2022. So all taxes have been paid and it should no longer be a part of my return in 2023. Please see picture below. It says "Select Yes if you need to report 1/3 of the amount of your distribution from a prior year." So I should select no because I do not need to report 1/3, correct?

The question contradicts itself. I should select yes because I did take a distribution in 2020 but I also should select no because I do not need to report 1/3 of the amount of my distribution .

The Form 8915-F Worksheet and the Form 8915-F along with the Form 1099-R were transferred from the 2022 tax return and need to be deleted. There may also be a "Qualified Disaster Retirement Plan Distributions" and/or a "2020 Disaster Distribution" form listed that has to be deleted.

@DoninGA Those forms have been deleted but it still asks this question. So I should select No because I do not need to report 1/3, correct? Thanks for your help.
