Been waiting on this form! Almost filed my taxes without it 😬. Feel sorry to those that might have forgotten about the 3year split, TurboTax didn't warn me.
Don't worry Mike. They'll complicate it more next year. Good to hear you on this morning. I did my taxes last week. I'll check it over for the next 3 weeks before I hit the send button. My income matches fairly well with what my spreadsheets revealed.
@@MoneyandLifeTV So much on that "tax return on a post card" promise. Since the IRS has all my info, and my estimated payments, they could just send me back the change.
I have not done any “F” this year yet. I’ve done quite a few “E” last year so they are coming. I wouldn’t think any have repaid their Distributions. Always great videos with well explanation of material. First it was Form 8606 and now 1116. Will the IRS ever make these form available. The IRS is making things tough. Hope things are doing well. Things always heat up in March.
I am using an online tax service it automatically put in my information from last year. It still has form 8915 E but it did have the correct amount in the field.
Does the three years have to be 1/3 for 2020 2021 2022? I have claimed the first 1/3 in 2020 can you skip 2021 and add the last two together to tax year 2022?
Thanks Kimberly, I get this request a lot but unfortunately I do not have examples I can go off. I have never worked with an experienced option trader. I also have never personally traded options myself
This is the 2nd year I’m doing our taxes myself through TurboTax online and I would have had them done the 1st available day through IRS but I remembered that I needed to do the 2nd year of this split (next year is the last split). I’ve had to wait so long. But TurboTax thought I was good to go! Even chatted with an ‘expert’ and they didn’t even know anything about an 8915 E or F. Now I’m about to chat with an ‘expert’ since it’s still not offering the 8915F . Wish me luck!
Sure, you can carry back an excess repayment, yet the 2020 Form 8915-E has no place to show that repayment. Is Form 8915-E supposed to be completed as if the carried-back repayment was made, as shown in Line 10, "before filing your 2020 tax return"?
Another excellent video! I use the download version of HR block tax SW. Their latest update did NOT cover or include Form 8915-F. Now I'll have to rework the data in the 1040 forms and submit a paper return instead of e-filing. But, they say I can buy their online version to use the form as integrated into the software. What a crock!
Hey Mike, I understand how to spread the taxable income over a three year period. Thank you for the video! What I don’t understand is what to report for tax withholdings for 2021 tax year. So my question is, do I report federal tax withholding from form 1099-R 2020 for all 3 years or just 2020.
I used H&R Deluxe again this year & the day after getting my return accepted by IRS I realized it let me miss the 8915 form it had me do last year. I called them & found a box I missed checking about disaster but after checking get a message that says this software doesn’t support Form 8915-F & they confirmed it will not be added to any of the downloaded versions only the online one eventually. Which makes me wonder If in your example the person repaid $30,000 so line 15 equals $0 is it necessary to file Form 8915-F since line 1040 5b =$0 ? If this is the case it saves me some hassle otherwise I assume I would have to file another 1040 that’s has all the same info I already filed with the words “Superseded Return” on all the pages with the addition of the new 8915-F with lines 12, 13, & 14 having the same values & line 15 = $0.
I’m doing TurboTax it doesn’t give the actual form to fill out only the 1099r for fidelity I entered the information from 1099r (2020) per instructions but now it’s asking for the date received ? There is no dates anywhere
Hi Mike, how do you carry forward excess repayments to future returns? Do you just put the excess number in the future year (2022) 8915F line 14 even though the repayment happened in 2021? Do you not indicate anywhere that the excess repayment was made in a prior year that is not for the current tax year being filed?
TurboTax finally added the 8915-F form to their system online but I found a glitch and I can't seem to find anyone that can fix it. What happens if you check the box for coronavirus BUT the system also makes you fill in something for line C? Should I continue to file with line C filled in and the box checked?
@@joshuaroman9679 I'm stuck on that part right now. It keeps asking me for a disaster name which I don't supposed to put because they will put that on line for FEMA number, but I supposed to check line d for coronavirus.
Yeah that's definitely a glitch I fell for. Do not put anything despite turbotax trying to force you. It will populate item c on the 8915 f form which you don't want. Did you enter a 1099-R like from the 2020 year you got the distribution?
I have a situation where a 1099-R was received in 2021 for a 401K loan that was taken out in 2020, put I got furloughed in 2021 and payments were not taken out after I was furloughed. What form(s) do I use to report the 1099-R received in 2021 for Covid relief? It doesn't seem that forms 8915-E or 8915-F apply. I would appreciate any help you can provide. Thank you.
Since it’s available with the IRS can’t I just file for free electronically with the IRS today? And just forget TurboTax & H&R Block? At least H&R Block is showing that the form is available this Friday (3/4/22)
Great question, yes you could ditch Turbo tax and prepare your return using an alternative method if you feel it is worth your time. Not sure how much time you have already sunk into Turbo Tax
Mike, I have a Corona Distribution taken back in 2020 where there was federal tax withheld. The distribution was spread over 3 years, but the amount withheld initially in 2020 was never included. How do I include this as part of taxes paid for 2022 filing?
@@MoneyandLifeTV , can my own continued contributions to my 401k count as repayment? (not the company match portion) Is there something that needs to be filled out officially declaring a contribution as a repayment?
Hi Mike I paid all the taxes last year for the full amount taken out , but I made a mistake when filing I was confused … I didn’t say I want to pay in full instead I split it which I shouldn’t have … Do I need to amend before I do this years taxes there’s no second split to report ?
The taxes withheld as you probably know now cannot be spread over three years. Only the income from the distribution can be spread over the 3 yr period. So if you made this mistake then you will need to amend to correct it
If I made a withdrawal and spread it out can I use the money I’ve put back in the past year to my 401 k I made a withdrawal not a loan but I put 17,000 in this past year can I claim that
I took $60K out in 2020 after being severed. 2021 is a very low tax year Social Security, unemployment, and a small pension. Back to work in 2022. Can I pay the remainder of the taxes (2/3- $40K) in 2021taxes vs 1/3 in 2021 & 1/2 in 2022?
how do I add the taxes I paid before receiving the distribution i paid all federal and state taxes at the time I withdrew the money do I add 1/3rd of the taxes also I'm so confused.
Hi Jayson, If you reported the full amount of your distribution in 2020 then you would not need to report anything in 2021 and 2022. Hope that helps. If you had withholdings from 2020 you cannot spread those over 3 years. The only thing people are allowed to allocate is the income which means of course they will pay tax on that income over 3 years.
Hi I plan on covering more about Crypto sometime this year once my work settles down. Running my own business has been keeping me busier than I expected :)
I really appreciate this video. I have a situation that I do not how to resolve it. In part II line 12, 13 and 15 won't let me input data. In 2020 I decided to distribute in 3 parts but now the form 8915 F does not allow me to allocate this amount (1/3). Someone please helps me!!!!!!!!
It sounds like a computer software issue and not a tax issue. If your software won't allow you to type in lines 12, 13, and 15, you can always print, write, and mail your forms like the old days. Either that or try a different software.
I am so confused!!! So you still have to pay federal taxes?? I took a 41000 distribution in 2020 and 4100.00 in federal taxes was taken out. So I have to pay even more federal taxes?? Ughh someone please help me!!!
If I took a distribution due to COVID and paid 15% Federal tax at the time of withdrawal,box 4 of 1099-R. I opted for the 3 year taxable plan,how do I apply that to this years taxes to include previous taxes paid?
@@MoneyandLifeTV actually I’m looking into H&R Block. Been hearing that they have the form. Did my own research and found out TurboTax won’t have it in their system until 3/31/22. That’s when all their free offers cut off. So disgusting
