How does the "Did [you] receive any distributions from a retirement plan after 2018?" question affect the Saver's Credit question? Should "yes" be selected if the amount of the 401K was withdrawn, after the loss of a job in 2020?
YES ... if you had a distribution reported on a 1099-R and if you did not repay it or roll it into another 401K or IRA within 60 days then you answer YES to that question.
Thank you. Got a 1099-R last year, but not this year. Opted to pay the interest and penalty on it the same year received (2020) taxes. Does that change anything?
Receiving a 1099-R in 2020 and reporting it on your 2020 return would not disqualify you from receiving the Saver's Credit in 2021.
If you made contributions to a 401K in 2021, and the amount is shown on your W-2 in Box 12, TurboTax will pick this up when you enter your W-2 to see if you qualify for the credit. Remember the credit can only be applied to tax you owe.
