1099 R

I received a 1099-R in 2021 for money took out of my 401K  in 2020 for Disaster Relief.  I'm spreading it out over 3 years.   How do I enter it as another 1099-R  for 2021 when I didn't actually receive another 1099-R form 2021?

If you had a Covid-19 related distribution in 2020 and selected to spread the distribution over 3 years -

Answer No when asked if you received a Form 1099-R in 2021, if you did not receive the form

Answer Yes when asked if Have you ever taken a disaster distribution before 2021?

Answer Yes when asked if you took a Qualified 2020 Disaster Distribution

Check the box that this was a Coronavirus-related distribution reported in 2020

 

In the box 2020 Form 8915-E, line 4, column b - Enter a 0

 

If the 2020 distribution was from an account that was Not an IRA

2020 Form 8915E Line 9 - Enter 1/3 of the amount from the 2020 distribution in both boxes for Line 9

If the 2020 distribution was from an IRA account

2020 Form 8915E Line 17 -  Enter 1/3 of the amount from the 2020 distribution in both boxes for Line 17

 

Do not enter anything in the other boxes, leave them blank (empty)

 

The 1/3 of the amount from the 2020 distribution will be entered on the 2021 Form 1040 Line 4b if from an IRA or on Line 5b if from a retirement plan other than an IRA
