What’s New
Repayments. The repayment period for a qualified 2018
disaster distribution ends 3 years and 1 day after the
distribution was received. This is particularly important if
your qualified 2018 disaster distribution was received in
2020. Repayments reported on 2023 Form 8915-C can be
used to reduce the income reportable on your 2020, 2021,
or 2022 tax return, as applicable; if you have already filed
your tax return for the year in question, you will need to
amend that return.

distribution repayments made in 2023 that were not

Cat. No. 72464Q
If you choose, you can generally repay to an eligible
retirement plan any portion of a qualified 2018 disaster
distribution that is eligible for tax-free rollover treatment.
Also, you can repay a qualified 2018 disaster distribution

distributions you can’t repay.
Depending on when a repayment is made, you may
need to file an amended tax return to refigure your taxable
income.
Include on 2023 Form 8915-C any repayments you
made in 2023. Do not include on your 2023 Form 8915-C
any repayments you made after the end of the 3-year
repayment period for your distribution.
You have 3 years from the day after the date you
received the distribution to make a repayment. The
amount of your repayment cannot be more than the
amount of the original distribution. Amounts that are
repaid are treated as a trustee-to-trustee transfer and are
not included in income. Also, for purposes of the
one-rollover-per-year limitation for IRAs, a repayment to
an IRA is not considered a rollover.
If you make the repayment in 2023 for qualified 2018
disaster distributions made in 2020:
You may file an amended 2020 Form 8915-C, if you
•
elected on your original 2020 Form 8915-C to include all

the repayments are made within the 3-year repayment
period for the distribution and were not reported on your

Example 1. You received a qualified 2018 disaster
distribution from your traditional IRA in the amount of
$90,000 on May 11, 2020. You elected to recognize in
2020 all the income from the distribution. On May 3, 2023,
you make a repayment of $45,000. You made no other
repayments. The entire $45,000 is an excess repayment
on your 2023 Form 8915-C, as you have no income from
qualified 2018 disaster distributions to report for 2023 and
the repayment was made before the 3-year period for
repayment of the distribution ended. You carry the entire
$45,000 back to 2020. You enter $45,000 on your
amended 2020 Form 8915-C, line 34. On the dotted line to
the left of line 34, you write “$45,000 carryback from 2023
Form 8915-C.”
Example 2. You received a qualified 2018 disaster
distribution from your traditional IRA in the amount of
$90,000 on May 11, 2020. You chose to spread the
$90,000 over 3 years ($30,000 in income for 2020, 2021,
and 2022). On April 28, 2023, you make a repayment of
$65,000. The entire $65,000 is an excess repayment on
your 2023 Form 8915-C, as you have no income from

Act of 2022 and effective beginning January 1, 2023.
Amending Form 8915-C
File Form 1040-X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax

"$30,000 excess repayment from 2023 Form 8915-C" on
the 2021 and 2022 forms and “$5,000 excess repayment
from 2023 Form 8915-C” on the 2020 form.

You entered $10,000 on line 2a of your 2023 Form
8915-C. Because you have already carried back the full
$10,000, you would include $10,000 on 2023 Form
8915-C, line 2b.
Line 4. At any time during the 3-year period that begins
the day after the date you received a qualified 2018
