"Intuit has decided to force all of us out here to input the information directly on schedule 1 other income."

If it is anything like previous years, the form will be there. Efiling programs have two options: to send it as pdf attachment or to send the data using the "alternative" method (which is the data as a stream, not a form with a stylesheet). And that means the program accommodates data input, such as, a 1099-R worksheet with the provision to include carry-over info.

Not providing for efile for this form is in the IRS's schema. Intuit has not got an option, if the IRS doesn't provide it. Here is what the IRS released:

"Form 8915-F, Qualified Disaster Retirement Plan Distributions and Repayments was not developed in XML for TY2021 as expected. Software developers who cannot attach a PDF binary attachment can use a 'GeneralDependencyMedium'."

"Schema will be developed for Tax year 2022/Processing Year 2023"

"Dependency may be updated at a later date."
