Form 8915F4-T: Disaster name must "be entered.You'll need to revisit this area." I don't see where to enter this information.

I am assuming that you are referring to Form 8915-F that is used to report a disaster-related retirement distribution and any repayments of those retirement funds. 

Currently, it appears that TurboTax has not yet finalized this area. That may be why you are seeing that message.

You may see a screen that says, "You'll need to revisit this area." " 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."

There were many significant new tax laws passed this year.

Is there a date to expect TurboTax to have this form available so we are able to complete and submit our forms?
