Reject Code /Return/ReturnData/IRS8915F/FEMADisasterDeclarationNum

[works2insureu]

My taxes were rejected due to code Reject Code /Return/ReturnData/IRS8915F/FEMADisasterDeclarationNum. Has anyone heard anything from TT or know if the issue on form 8915-F is being corrected for online resubmission?

Please try these steps to fix the rejection 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 click "back" 
9. Then recheck the box next to "If this was a Coronavirus-related distribution reported in 2020 check here" and continue.

Please let me know if this worked for you.

Thanks so much for your reply however it still did not fix the issue. It still keeps sending me back to this page and I go under the 1099 and keep revisiting but it just keeps sending me in the same loop with the same issue.

I called in. I was told to delete the form under tax tools - under tools - delete form- find the form - then delete it. Then redo it and refile.

It was still giving instructions on how to fix it after that - but I refiled and it was accepted.

Glad to hear that your issue has been resolved and you were able to refile; thanks for the update @osanchez612.

I'm using the desktop version this year (Big Mistake) and this does not resolve the issue.

[bcrown9]

MoniqueLO_ - This is not fixed and I don't want the hacked up workaround for the desktop version.  C...

This is happening to me as well. Same code and if IRS rejects then the state frustrating

It doesn't work!
