disaster distribution question

Hi

 

I see this same question coming up again like last year, 

"Have you ever taken a disaster distribution before 2025?"

"Did you take any disaster distributions in prior years or repay any prior year disaster distribution in 2025?"

 
So, if I click 'Yes' on this, "Yes, I took a disaster distribution between 2021 and 2024."
The next screen says, "You'll need to revisit this area." 
And I'm stuck here, and can't move on. 
What should I do? Actually I paid all the taxes for the distribution (tax years 2020, 2021, 2022).
The same question came up last year when I filed the tax returns, and I, like many others having the same problem, got so frustrated.
 
Should I ignore this and move on to file the tax returns, or should I wait for the Turbotax to fix it?
Turbotax screen just says " Unfortunately, changes related to qualified disaster distributions and repayments weren't ready in time for us to include them in this release. Please revisit this area later."
 
When I did the federal tax return review, I see no problem at all there.
Please advise me.

disaster distribution question

No, if you are not reporting income this year from prior years, you do not need the form. You can answer no to the question,

 

If you do need Form 8915 and have spread out your retirement disaster distribution income over 3 years.- including this year: See Form availability here. Once the form is available, software must be updated and that could be the same days or a couple more.
