Deductions & credits

Often, the insurance premiums paid are not shown in box 5 on the Form 1099-R.  The program within TurboTax will prompt you to identify your retirement distribution as a Public Safely Officer.  The next screen will ask "Did the Pension Administrator pay for health insurance?".  After you select "Yes", you will enter the amount in the next screen.  This will automatically populate the POS deduction from the Retirement income within TurboTax.
