Are you the same person that asked this same thing, here:

https://proconnect.intuit.com/community/proconnect-tax-discussions/discussion/client-spread-2020-dis...

My answer there:

The 3-year carryover from a 2020 covid-related distribution will be reported on Form 8915-F, which hasn't appeared in an update, yet.

The penalty waiver for first time home buyer for early withdrawal is Form 5329.

You can use your covid money for anything you want, but that doesn't change the distribution rule it fell under. Spending it on a home has nothing to do with tax reporting for the three-year rule. And, the disaster provision for a home in 2021 has nothing to do with disaster provisions in 2020.

 

For this: "They used some of the money to put the down payment on a house in 2020 and then when the house was complete in 2021, want to get the exclusion."

Then amend 2020 and refile it, showing the $10k house separate from the Balance as covid distribution. Now that balance is split over 3 years.

Read that article; it will help you determine if they finally qualify under this new concept.
