When will Turbo tax fix the flipping 8915-f for Coronavrius so it's not causing the form to reject because they put coronavirus on line C incorrectly?

[johnwberk]

 Can you not read the e-filing instructions of the form so it's completed correctly by your software?

[FZ2671]

You are correct.  Line "C" should list "coronavirus" only line "D" should be checked.  This causes your e-file to be rejected.  Must be fixed by TT.  You cannot manually change it.  Any advice on how to escalate this @CarissaM @AnnetteB6 @SForrestLO @DavidD66 ?

Having the same issue but it says "COVID" in line C rather than Coronavirus. 
Whats interesting is comparing my 2021 turbo tax return, its exactly the same and didnt get rejected. Line C has "COVID" and line D is checked.

" my 2021 turbo tax return, its exactly the same and didnt get rejected."

IRS adds to or tightens the e-File rules when they see the tax software is doing it wrong.

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.

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. In the left menu, select "Tax Tools" and then "Tools".
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.

This worked for me.

@DanaB27 this worked for me it looks like.  I checked the pdf files of the return and the "coronavirus" on line "C" was gone.

after:

Thanks!!

[VTkillabee78]

I followed the steps and when I review the return "Covid" is still in Line 1.  Am I missing something?  Turbotax won't refund me even though return is rejected due to this error.

[mchesney]

It worked for me too. I did have to look back at last years return to put the amounts back in as those were deleted too.

[sstl71]

This did not work for me, I still see covid 19 in box C and D is checked.  Please advise.

[Doug857]

I resolved this issue by going directly into the 8915E-T Wks (worksheet) and deleting NA from line A (FEMA disaster number), this flowed into and removed from form 8915F-T and federal return was accepted.  Repeated for 8915E-S.

[sstl71]

How did you delete the NA, when I'm in my worksheet I can highlight Covid 19 but cannot delete.  Please let me know.  Thank you

[sstl71]

Got it, found where to delete, thank you very much for the feedback

[DawnC]

If you are using the desktop program, you can click on Forms and delete ''covid'' from Line C.    @sstl71   Posted before you found where to delete.   For anyone else still having reject issues, here are the steps from Dana's post above:

1. Login to your TurboTax Account

I have tried numerous times to delete the Form using the tools menu method with the online version and the Form is not deleting.  Not sure what to do.
