U.S. Individual Income Tax Return Forms

Note: The draft you are looking for begins on the next page.

Caution: DRAFT—NOT FOR FILING
This is an early release draft of an IRS tax form, instructions, or publication,
which the IRS is providing for your information. Do not file draft forms and do
not rely on draft forms, instructions, and publications for filing. We do not
release draft forms until we believe we have incorporated all changes (except
when explicitly stated on this coversheet). However, unexpected issues
occasionally arise, or legislation is passed—in this case, we will post a new draft
of the form to alert users that changes were made to the previously posted draft.
Thus, there are never any changes to the last posted draft of a form and the final
revision of the form. Forms and instructions generally are subject to OMB
approval before they can be officially released, so we post only drafts of them
until they are approved. Drafts of instructions and publications usually have some
changes before their final release.
Early release drafts are at IRS.gov/DraftForms and remain there after the final
release is posted at IRS.gov/LatestForms. All information about all forms,
instructions, and pubs is at IRS.gov/Forms.
Almost every form and publication has a page on IRS.gov with a friendly
shortcut. For example, the Form 1040 page is at IRS.gov/Form1040; the Pub. 501
page is at IRS.gov/Pub501; the Form W-4 page is at IRS.gov/W4; and the
Schedule A (Form 1040/SR) page is at IRS.gov/ScheduleA. If typing in a link
above instead of clicking on it, be sure to type the link into the address bar of your
browser, not a Search box.
If you wish, you can submit comments to the IRS about draft or final forms,
instructions, or publications at IRS.gov/FormsComments. We cannot respond to
all comments due to the high volume we receive and may not be able to consider
many suggestions until the subsequent revision of the product.
If you have comments on reducing paperwork and respondent (filer) burden,
with respect to draft or final forms, please respond to the relevant information
collection through the Federal Register process; for more info, click here.

• See Table 1 in the instructions for the list of qualified 2018 disasters.
• If you are reporting distributions in Part I for more than one 2018 disaster, see the instructions to determine whether you should use Worksheet 2 to
figure the amounts to enter in Part I, column (b), below. If you must use Worksheet 2, check this box ▶

Complete line 1 first. Then, complete lines 2 through 5 of one column before going to the next column.

If you are reporting only one disaster for 2020, enter in columns (b) and (c) the amount
described below for your situation. Otherwise, see Worksheet 2 in the instructions.
• If you didn’t file 2018 or 2019 Form 8915-C, enter -0-.
• If you filed 2018 or 2019 Form 8915-C (or both), and the disaster for which you are
reporting distributions on this form is different from the disaster(s) for which you reported
distributions on 2018 and 2019 Forms 8915-C, enter -0-.
• If you filed 2018 and 2019 Forms 8915-C, you reported distributions for only one disaster
(the same disaster) on those forms, and you are reporting distributions for that same
disaster on this form, enter the amount from your 2019 Form 8915-C, line 5, column (b).
• If you filed 2018 or 2019 Form 8915-C (but not both) on which you reported distributions
for more than one disaster and one of those disasters is the disaster for which you are
reporting distributions on this form, enter the amount for that disaster from line 4 of
column (X) in Worksheet 2 in the 2018 Form 8915-C instructions, or from line 5 of column
(X) in Worksheet 2 in the 2019 Form 8915-C instructions, whichever is applicable.
• If your situation is not described above, see Worksheet 2 in the instructions.

If you are reporting only one disaster for 2020 and the amount you are entering in
column (b) is $100,000 or more, do not complete this part; you have no qualified
2018 disaster distributions in 2020
