School Bus Driver

As a School Bus Driver for the Kent School District, and also a state employee. Does this count as a "Public Safety Officer?

Alumni - Intuit

Probably not. Public safety officers serve the public in an official capacity providing services such as policing, firefighting, rescue, etc. They typically also provide public safety and law enforcement services at universities and state facilities.

If you are not sure, you can contact your employer- the reason TurboTax asks is there is a specific tax benefit- $3,000 for accident, health insurance or tax qualified long term care insurance excluded from otherwise taxable retirement income.
