Unable to delete 8915-F

[rribay78]

I erronously indicated that one of my retirement distributiond was related to a disaster that occued in 2021 and 2022. I corrected that entry but now during review I am getting this error "Form 8915T- You indicated there were retirement distributions received in 2022 related to .....". Tried to delete the form several times but it comes back automatically. I even deleted the distribution which I made the error on and readded it back, but the error is persisting.

Please clarify what form you deleted. Was it the 1099-R or Form 8915-T?

I deleted the 1099 R where I believe I made a mistake and readded it but am still unable to delete Form 8915 F and continue to get the same error when I review the return. Thank you.

Since you are using TurboTax for Desktop, go to Forms Mode and delete Form 8915F-T and the worksheet "8915E-T Wks" right above it in the forms list. (The "T" may be an "S" in some cases.) This should resolve the issue and allow you to continue.

This is my problem also. I went to forms, deleted form 8915F-T. Reopened my file and the error is still there when I ran the check. HELP!

Nevermind...I did it again by deleting the worksheet first and that fixed it! Thank you so very much!

I have this issue.

I have tried to delete form 8915 about 5 times now and it keep reappearing after I delete it.

 HELP

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.
