What is the 8915A-T form

[MaryK4]

You use Form 8915-A if you were adversely affected by a 2016 disaster and you received a distribution that qualifies for favorable tax treatment.

We were not affected by any disaster in 2016 so why are we having to wait for forms 8915A-T and 8915A-S?  Can we bypass this?

[MayaD]

Taxpayers use Form 8915-A if they were adversely affected by a 2016 disaster and you received a distribution that qualifies for favorable tax treatment.

If that does not apply to you, follow the instructions below to delete the form:

1. Sign in to TurboTax, and select the Take me to my return button.
2. In the left sidebar, select Tax Tools> Tools.
3. In the pop-up window Tool Center, select Delete a form.
4. Select Delete next to the form/schedule/worksheet and follow the onscreen instructions.

I have this issue from my 2019 return.  I deleted the file in the 2019 return but it was filed that way and now turbotax has it in 2020 as a prior year item that will not go away.  How do I fix this?

[AmyC]

8915-A is no longer usable, the last year it could be used was 2019. You can delete the form. See How to Delete

Our filing is delayed by form 8915A-T 2016. It’s not even listed on the federal irs list.  The last year listed is 2018 so why is the TT software holding us back?

You will need to delete the Form 8915-A that carried forward from last year.

If you are using TurboTax Online:

1. From inside the return, scroll down to Tax Tools on the bottom of the left side menu.
2. Select Tools.
3. Click on Delete a form (third on the list at the bottom of the screen).
4. Find Form 8915-A on the list of forms.
5. Click Delete to the right.
6. Confirm your Delete.
7. Click Continue with my return.

If you are the Desktop version (disc or download):

1. Click Forms toward the upper right corner. 
2. Find Form 8915-A on the list on the left.
3. Highlight it, then click Delete in the lower left corner of the reading pane.
4. Click on Step by Step in the upper right corner to return to the interview.

At this point you should be able to e-file your tax return.

The only 8915 form to delete is a 8915B not A cause it's NOT LISTED

[MayaD]

Taxpayers use Form 8915-B if they were adversely affected by a 2017 disaster and they received a distribution that qualifies for favorable tax treatment.

The form won't be available until 03/31/20122. If you are required to file form 8915-B, the form must be printed and you'll need to mail your return.

I was not affected by a 2016 disaster and for some reason it generated this form in my 2021 tax return, which is preventing me from e-filing. On the form, it's pulling a number from my 2019 filing. When I check my 2019 filed return, there's not a form 8915-A there. When I go to tools and try to delete the form, it's not listed either, but it's clearly in my 2021 copy of my tax return (which it still won't let me e-file)!!! Can someone find out why this is generated? It has something to do with retirement distribution. I've always answered "no" when asked if I've taken qualified disaster in previous years!!!
