If I received a Covid Payment from the IRS in 2020 but did not received a Form 8915E, how would I fill in the specific form information to file my taxes?

You will not receive a form reporting the second installment of the 2020 Qualified Disaster Distribution.  Refer to IRS Form 8915 in your 2020 Federal 1040 income tax return for the numbers.

 

IRS Form 8915-F information can be entered at the screen Did you take a 2020 Qualified Disaster Distribution?  Report Qualified 2020 Disaster Distributions from Part II and Part III from the 2020 8915-E by following these steps.

 

• Go to Federal / Wages & Income / Retirement Plans and Social Security / IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R).
• Click Start / Revisit to the right.
• At the screen Did you receive any 1099-R forms? select No.
• At the screen Have you ever taken a disaster distribution before 2021?, Click Yes.
• At the screen Did you take a 2020 Qualified Disaster Distribution?, enter 8915F and 8915E information.
• If you see the screen Did you take a disaster distribution at any time between 2018 and 2020?, you are instructed to select YES if you need to report 1/3 of the amount of your distribution from a prior year.  That has already been done.  Select No, I didn't.

You may view the distributions on the 2021 Federal 1040 tax return at Tax Tools / Tools / View Tax Summary / Preview my 1040.  You may view Form 8915-F at Tax Tools / Print Center / Print, save or preview this year's return / Include government and TurboTax worksheets.
