What if you only had a real 2021 qualified disaster distribution? (not the 2020 Corona carryover).

I cant find any entry place for that. and I have a 2 clients that were in FEMA disaster areas that the IRS recognizes for that treatment. The 8915-F has no 'entry' cells.  and the 1099-R worksheets don't have a 2021 line...at least not that I can find..

Maybe the form is not "done" yet but PS programmed just enough to get the 1/3 COVID to work?

Did you try going to the field you want to enter data into and right-click to cross-reference to sources?  I wouldn't be surprised if the entries go on the bogus 8915-E somewhere.  I'm kinda surprised that's the best method they could come up with after 5 extra weeks of programming time.

Sorry I'm not much help.  You might need to call support. 😞

There are no direct entry cells on the 8915-F.  Guess I'll call support.

WTH?!  Maybe if they had 12 extra weeks after the form instructions were released they could do this but since they only had 6 weeks . . .

I'm pretty sure it still just gets attached as a PDF but in PS you'd have to override stuff to get the numbers in the right places.

Ugh.

On the IRS website, (Appendix B Qualified Disaster Areas by Year) there are no qualified disasters for 2021. 
That might change. "This confusion may be cleared up in a later revision of the instructions, or by the 2021 version of Publication 575, which is expected soon." From:  IRS Issues Form 8915-F for Reporting Qualified Disaster Distributions and Repayments, Provides 2021 F...

Maybe We should try and get the IRS to extend the tax season so a  certain  software company can get their act together.
