When will Form 8915-E be available? TurboTax indicates "IRS instructions related to disaster distributions weren't ready in time for this release." It's been weeks now.

Sorry, I should have been more clear.

this issue:

"txble pens/ira (reg dist) we're still working on updates related to retirement distributions that qualify for diaster or covid relief"

The customer service agent opened a ticket but she seemed surprise there was no ETA to fix it.

We’ve flagged this largely for NY HI MI states 2-3 weeks ago. Haven’t heard much of anything. 

Someone somewhere what’s saying March 5th as a possible fix date, and also March 11th. I have not tried yet today. 

Many many people getting this prompted completecheck worksheet error still.

The issue is now resolved. Before it wasn’t calculating the Covid distribution tax correctly over a three-year period.

 

How can I apply for the February reduced rate that I would have qualified for had the software worked ? It now wants to charge me $140 for federal and state return together.

 

Issues I had are well-documented in the forum.

@ajd878787  has not been fixed for me. I am still getting the check this entry for the NYS  Pension/Annuities/IRA Worksheet.

Not surprised. 

I will try later today but I intend to do the following just in case:

 

1- Clear 1099-R

2- Clear Caches

3- Re-enter 1099-R using new browser 

4- Click through questions all the way to completecheck

 

I am hoping in doing this, if they actually fixed anything, that it would trigger the right sheets filled correctly: TBD @Anonymous

Still an issue in NY and on Twitter the answer seems to be they are waiting on the form but no clue when it will be resolved 

I can’t find any software/company that is able to file federal/NY with no issues with Covid 401k withdrawal form 8195-E

@Nyc girl  

  

still having the same issue with my Hawaii e-filing of the 8915-E.  Emailed and spoken to numerous TurboTax adivisors and they all give you the run around or simplistic answer of check back in a couple of days.  However, they were quick to charge me their fees even though nothing has been filed yet. I was a repeat turbo tax customer for years but this is the last year I’ll use them.  Simply because of their poor customer service regarding this topic.
