disaster totaled $100,000, you do not have qualified 2018 disaster distributions available for that disaster in 2020 and should not include 

distributions in Part I below for that disaster. See instructions.

• 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 qualified 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 ▶
