If you downloaded the Instructions for Form 8915-F (Rev. January 2022), please be advised that those instructions have been replaced by the Instructions for Form 8915-F (Rev. February 2022) to correct the disasters listed in Appendix B under the Table for Qualified 2020 Disaster Areas. The revised instructions also address the lines on which to enter income on Form 8915-F for a decedent who has spread the income from their distribution(s) over 3 years and who dies before the 3-year period has ended.
