If you choose, you can generally repay to an  
eligible retirement plan any portion of a  
qualified 2017 disaster distribution that is  
eligible for tax-free rollover treatment. Also,  
you can repay a qualified 2017 disaster  
distribution from a retirement plan made on  
account of hardship. However, see  
distributions, see the 2018  
Instructions for Form 8915B.  
TIP  
Who Must File  
File 2021 Form 8915-B if you made a  
repayment of a qualified 2017 disaster  
distribution in 2021 that was not included on  
your 2020 Form 8915-B.  
What’s New  
Exceptions below for qualified 2017 disaster  
distributions you can’t repay.  
Coronavirus-related distributions. Did  
you repay coronavirus-related distributions in  
2021? If you did, do not use 2021 Form  
8915-B to report those repayments. Use new  
Form 8915-F, Qualified Disaster Retirement  
Plan Distributions and Repayments, instead.  
We have retired Form 8915-E, Qualified  
2020 Disaster Retirement Plan Distributions  
and Repayments, which you used to report  
coronavirus-related distributions and  
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.  
Include on 2021 Form 8915-B any  
repayments you make during 2021 that were  
not included on your 2020 Form 8915-B. Any  
repayments may be carried back to your  
2018, 2019, or 2020 return. See Amending  
Form 8915-B, later.  
When and Where To File  
File 2021 Form 8915-B with your 2021 Form  
1040, 1040-SR, or 1040-NR. If you are not  
required to file an income tax return but are  
required to file 2021 Form 8915-B, sign Form  
8915-B and send it to the IRS at the same  
time and place you would otherwise file 2021  
Form 1040, 1040-SR, or 1040-NR.

Generally, a qualified 2017 disaster  
distribution is included in your income in  
equal amounts over 3 years. However, if you  
elected, you could have included the entire

treated all the distributions for that year the  
same way. Qualified 2017 disaster

Disaster Distributions  
From Traditional, SEP,  
SIMPLE, and Roth IRAs  
If, after filing a 2018, 2019, or 2020 Form  
1040 with a Form 8915B or 8915-B, you  
make a repayment, the repayment may  
reduce the amount of your qualified 2017  
disaster distributions reported on the earlier  
return.  
Line 2b. Enter the amount from line 2a that  
you have already carried back to a prior year.  
See the example below.  
Example. You received a qualified 2017  
disaster distribution from your 401(k)  
retirement plan in the amount of $90,000 on  
January 15, 2018. This is the only qualified  
2017 disaster distribution you have ever  
received. You chose to spread the $90,000  
over 3 years ($30,000 in income for 2018,  
2019, and 2020). You did not make a  
repayment until November 10, 2020, when  
you made a repayment of $40,000. On your  
2020 Form 8915-B, you entered $40,000 on  
lines 5 and 6 and $30,000 on line 1. On  
December 1, 2020, you filed an amended  
2019 return carrying back the excess  
repayment of $10,000 ($40,000 − $30,000)  
to line 7 in Part I of your 2019 Form 8915-B.  
You transfer the amounts on lines 6 and 1 of  
your 2020 Form 8915-B to your 2021 Form  
8915-B, entering $40,000 on line 1a and  
$30,000 on line 1b of your 2021 Form  
8915-B. You entered $10,000 on line 2a of  
your 2021 Form 8915-B. Because you have  
already carried back the full $10,000, you  
would include $10,000 on 2021 Form  
8915-B, line 2b.  
Complete Part II if you made a repayment in  
2021 of qualified 2017 disaster distribution  
amounts from line 25 of 2018 Form 8915B.  
See the examples under Amending Form  
8915-B, earlier, and under Line 9 below. You  
may also be able to complete Part II if you  
have an excess repayment from Part II of a  
2020 Form 8915-B, but see the example  
under Line 7b next. Also, see the Caution  
If you make any repayments during 2021,  
include the repayments on your 2021 Form  
8915-B if they were not included on your  
2020 Form 8915-B. If you make a repayment  
reported on your 2021 Form 8915-B, you  
must file an amended 2018 Form 8915B, an  
amended 2019 or 2020 Form 8915-B, or a  
combination of these forms to reduce the  
qualified 2017 disaster distributions reported  
on them. (But see the examples below. Also,  
see the Caution under Repayment of a  
for limitations.)  
Example 1. You received a qualified  
2017 disaster distribution in the amount of  
$90,000 on November 15, 2018. You choose  
to spread the $90,000 over 3 years ($30,000  
in income for 2018, 2019, and 2020). On  
November 10, 2021, you make a repayment  
of $40,000, which you report on line 9 of your  
2021 Form 8915-B. The repayment of  
$40,000 can be carried back to 2018, 2019,  
or 2020.  
Disaster Distribution, earlier, for limitations.  
Line 7b. Enter the amount from line 7a that  
you have already carried back to a prior year.  
See the example below.  
Example. You received a qualified 2017  
disaster distribution from an IRA in the  
amount of $90,000 on January 15, 2018.  
This is the only qualified 2017 disaster  
distribution you have ever received. You  
chose to spread the $90,000 over 3 years  
($30,000 in income for 2018, 2019, and  
2020). You did not make a repayment until  
November 10, 2020, when you made a  
repayment of $40,000. On your 2020 Form  
8915-B, you entered $40,000 on lines 12 and  
13 and $30,000 on line 8. On December 1,  
2020, you filed an amended 2019 return  
carrying back the excess repayment of  
$10,000 ($40,000 − $30,000) to line 16 in  
Part II of your 2019 Form 8915-B. You  
transfer the amounts on lines 13 and 8 of  
your 2020 Form 8915-B to your 2021 Form  
8915-B, entering $40,000 on line 6a and  
$30,000 on line 6b of your 2021 Form  
8915-B. You entered $10,000 on line 7a of  
your 2021 Form 8915-B. Because you have  
already carried back the full $10,000, you  
would include $10,000 on 2021 Form  
8915-B, line 7b.  
Line 4. At any time during the 3-year period  
beginning 1 day after the date you received a  
qualified 2017 disaster distribution, you can  
repay any portion of the distribution to an  
eligible retirement plan that accepts rollover  
contributions. You cannot, however, repay  
more than the amount of the original  
Example 2. The facts are the same as in  
Example 1, except the repayment was made  
on December 20, 2021. The $40,000 can't  
be treated as a repayment because it was  
made after the 3-year period for making a  
repayment had passed.
