Form 8915F

Well folks we made it thru our first day with the infamous form 8915F. I did okay and I would expect while the first couple of tax returns might have been troublesome for some after that I would think it might have been a snap.

Looks like theres a glitch with that 8915F and current 2021 year retirement distributions.  The current year distribution isnt transferring to the 5b taxable line, only the 8915F portion shows up. 

This can be a huge issue, so verify that the returns youve worked on are really correct.

IRAs on line 4b seem to work as intended, but Line 5b doesnt.

interesting, are you saying the amount that transfers works as intended but if client took additional withdrawals in 2021 the software is not pulling those amounts?

Mine works as intended.  The current year retirement from 401K populates and is added to the carryforward coronavirus retirement deferral.  The correct amount shows up on 5b.  I am not sure who is pulling your leg but what you say is not true Lisa. 

@Just-Lisa-Now- where are you showing this huge issue?  Can you show me how you duplicated it?

Good.  I thought my program was screwed up for doing it correctly.

I'm doing something wrong too because it didn't flow over - sigh - maybe after more coffee I can figure it out

ok - if you haven't done much work on the return and have transferred before the update - delete the file and retransfer - wow now it flows.

So if I had a return with info almost done and waiting for the form it won't transfer. So I have to delete the file and start over.
