Form 8915-E is available today from IRS. When will the program make it available for me to file?

I did not do a distribution for Disaster Relief however the system will not let me get pass the 8915-E. Keeps telling me the form is not available.  It's been almost 7 days

This was an interesting step by step offered by Turbo Tax esteemed author AnnetteB6 in her awesome Turbo Tax post. in her post, she has outlined the following steps.

Please try the following steps if you are using TurboTax Online to see if the error message will clear:

• Go to Federal on the left side of the screen
• Go to Wages & Income at the top of the screen
• Scroll to the bottom of the section without making any changes and click Wrap Up Income
• Continue moving forward until you see a question about whether you took a disaster distribution in 2020 and select 'No'
• Run the Federal Review again to see if the error has cleared

Please try the following steps if you are using a CD/downloaded version of TurboTax:

• Go to Wages & Income at the top of the screen (or Personal > Personal Income)
• Click I'll choose what I work on
• Scroll to the bottom of the section without making any changes and click Done with Income
• Continue moving forward until you see a question about whether you took a disaster distribution in 2020 and select 'No'
• Run the Federal Review again to see if the error has cleared"

Let me know if this works.

Here it is Mar 16 and my software still says I can't file because Turbo Tax has not net finalized this form but will send me a message once it is ready. This is getting very frustrating given I see many said it would be ready February 25/26.

So - is it ready??

If not, WHEN?? We're now 1 month away from filing deadline?

I had this same problem yesterday....spoke with one of the Turbo Tax people over chat and she told me it will be available on 2/16. Hope that helps!  🙂

Form 8915-F is preventing me from e-filing, and I believe it is not even required by me to file.  How do I progress to efile my returns and/or delete 8915-F?

Have you tried this solution?

Here is a workaround provided by expert DanaB27 that is working-  

Be sure to follow the instructions carefully. Try both options if necessary. 

Please try these steps to fix the issue: 

1. Login to your TurboTax Account  
2. Click on the "Search" on the top and type “1099-R”   
3. Click on “Jump to 1099-R”  
4. If you do not have any 2022 1099-R, answer "No" to "Did you get a 1099-R in 2022?" (If you have any other 1099-R, then enter all 1099-R and after entering your last 1099-R, click "Continue" on the “Review your 1099-R info ” screen) 
5. Answer "Yes" to the "Have you ever taken a disaster distribution before 2022?" screen 
6. Answer "Yes" to "Did you take a 2020 Qualified Disaster Distribution?" 
7. Uncheck the box next to "If this was a Coronavirus-related distribution reported in 2020 check here" and click continue 
8. On the "Which disaster affected you in 2020?" screen, I selected the blank entry and clicked "back"  
9. Then recheck the box next to "If this was a Coronavirus-related distribution reported in 2020, check here" and continue. 

Another option is to delete "Form 8915-F" and "Qualified 2020 Disaster Retirement Distr" and then go back to the retirement section and reenter the information: 

1. Open or continue your return in TurboTax. 
2. Select "Tax Tools" and then "Tools" in the left menu. 
3. In the pop-up window Tool Center, select "Delete a form". 
4. Select "Delete" next to "Form 8915-F" and "Qualified 2020 Disaster Retirement Distr" and follow the instructions. 
5. Click on the "Search" on the top and type “1099-R”   
6. Click on “Jump to 1099-R”  
7. If you do not have any 2022 1099-R, answer "No" to "Did you get a 1099-R in 2022?" (If you have any other 1099-R, then enter all 1099-R, and after entering your last 1099-R, click "Continue" on the “Review your 1099-R info ” screen) 
8. Answer "Yes" to the "Have you ever taken a disaster distribution before 2022?" screen 
9. Answer "Yes" to "Did you take a 2020 Qualified Disaster Distribution?" 
10. Check the box next to "If this was a Coronavirus-related distribution reported in 2020, check here" and enter your information. 

Please let us know if this works for you.
