"I have the same question, but no answer.."

Uh, yes, there is an answer, right above you. And your program shows the info, as well. And right now, it is scheduled for 2/25, and now it shows that it can be e-filed, which was not a feature two weeks ago in the planning.

"My idea was to enter the gross distribution"

Your client needs you to prepare their income tax return properly. Form 5329 is for waiving the penalty, if that applies. Form 8915-E is a T or an S, depending on whose account this was distributed from, and that is the form for reporting the taxable amount over that one year or over three years.

"So we were told 2/18 and now 2/25...Is 2/25 a solid date now?"

Instead of being "told" you should follow the info provided by Intuit. Use that bookmark.

Otherwise, you are asking Peer Users. No one here is giving out guarantees.
