When I attempt to e-file, it keeps sending me back to form 8915-f to correct the FEMA disaster name for COVID because it doesn't meet the format. How can I fix this?

TurboTax is not allowing me to e-file currently because of form 8915-f for the COVD disaster retirement plan distributions. When asked for the disaster name, I have entered Coronavirus, but the software apparently expects a format of letters dashes and numbers. Is there a code for COVID? All the help items I have found say to enter Virus SARS-CoV-2 or Coronavirus Disease 2019, but neither of those were accepted.

If you are reporting a COVID distribution,

you do not enter a disaster designation.

 

Refer to Form 8915-F and instructions at the IRS website since  you can't see forms in TurboTax Online.
