No, enter it exactly as it shows on the 1099-R. There will be questions both in the Federal and the State to resolve that issue.
Entered 1099R on Federal. MA form 1 keeps trying to have me fix error on worksheet.
MA govt. pension is tax exempt for MA tax. If I enter zero in blank or the exempt amount there's still an error that sends me back to the worksheet.
Open the Massachusetts return until you get back to the section in "Pensions and Annuities from All sources"
please indicate version and platform. I do not find any of what you are talking about in my version of turbo tax.
I went through the Massachusetts state questions you will come to Retirement/Pension Deduction Summary. It states that you can correct it on the Federal input page. However, opn the next page there is a place to make a pension adjustment.
I use form 1099-R. I file in Massachusetts. My 1099-R line 1 is "Gross Distribution" not Pension Distribution. I thought line 2a "Taxable Amount" figure was entered into the non taxable Mass pension box.
No, you should enter nothing on your Massachusetts box unless there is an amount in your 1099-R. Enter your 1099--R as is and the entry will flow to your state return.
Your saying nothing should be entered on the Massachusetts box unless there is an amount in your 1099-R What amount on my CSA 1099-R are you referring to? What box # does this figure come from. Is it box 1 (Gross Distribution) or box 2 a:( taxable amount) I have figures shown in these two boxes
You will enter your form into the federal just as it is on the form.
Then when you get into the MA preparation, you will be asked if you have tax exempt income from pensions or annuities.
Answer YES.
You will see your CSA 1099-R listed.
Click on the drop down box and mark it tax exempt.
You do not need to enter any amount as the program is taking it off for you.
Just for your information, the taxable amount is the one on your federal and will be subtracted from your state.
