I repaid (rolled over) all of my Covid distribution in 2021 after my 2021 tax deadline. I am attempting to amend my 2020 return to get the taxes that I paid on the distribution refunded. I can not figure out how to correctly report the repayment and if I am supposed to change anything on my 1099R. All question in the Turbo Tax software regarding repayment of the distribution are in regards to if the repayment was done before my 2020 tax filing deadline. I am really at a loss on how to amend for this situation.

If you made a full repayment you will allocate the repayment to 2020, 2021, and 2022.
You will enter the repayment allocated to 2020 on your amended 2020 tax return:

"If you make a repayment after the due date of your 2020 return (including extensions) but before the due date of your 2021 return (including extensions) and you have spread the income over 3 years, include the repayment on your 2021 Form 8915-E. However, you may file an amended Form 8915-E for 2020 if either of the following applies.
Example
You received a qualified 2020 disaster distribution in the amount of $90,000 in 2020. The distribution was made on October 16. You choose to spread the $90,000 over 3 years ($30,000 in income for 2020, 2021, and 2022). On November 19, 2021, you make a repayment of $45,000. For 2021, none of the qualified 2020 disaster distribution is included in income. The excess repayment of $15,000 ($45,000 - $30,000) can be carried back to 2020. Also, instead of carrying the excess repayment back to 2020, you can choose to carry it forward to 2022." (IRS)
