Qualified 2017 Disaster Retirement Plan Distributions and Repayments

Rev. 2021

Form 8915-B is a tax form for reporting qualified disaster distributions and repayments from retirement plans and IRAs, other than IRAs. The form is related to coronavirus-related distributions and instructions can be found on IRS website. It should be attached to the 2021 Form 1040, 1040-SR or 1040-NR and filled with required information including Social Security number, home address, and foreign country details if applicable. The form has two parts: Part I for retirement plans other than IRAs and Part II for traditional, SEP, SIMPLE, and Roth IRAs. In each part, users need to enter amounts from the previous year's Form 8915-B, calculate excess repayments, and report total repayments made in 2021 that were not included in the previous form. The amounts can be carried back to reduce the amount subject to tax in a prior year. Users are required to sign and declare the information as true under penalties of perjury.
