1099-R distribution

[BJOLLEY]

How do you input a 1099-R distribution to spread the income over the 3 years?

You need the 8915E that hasnt been released yet.    Im not sure when its scheduled for lacerte, it doesnt give a date. https://lfs.intuit.com/

ProSeries is scheduled for 2/18 so that should give you a rough idea

Any idea along this same line how to show the repayment of a client's RMD due to the provisions of the CARES Act?  1099R shows total distributed, not the amount repaid.  Where do I enter that on Lacerte's screen 13?

"1099R shows total distributed, not the amount repaid."

Because the 1099-R is for money Out, and that is how much went Out; it's not their responsibility to Net it. What the taxpayer did with it is a different issue. There should be a 5498 to confirm they "put it back" which is a Rollover. It's just a Rollover. The Rollover treatment has been changed to allow for up to three years, as long as you are designating this is a qualified covid distribution.
