Form 1: Tax-Exempt Pension should not be entered directly on Form 1 for State Electronic filing. You should enter the information on the Federal Return, Form 1099-R and/or use the Pensions and Annuities Smart Worksheet to make any tax-exempt adjustments.
After entering the 1099-R in the federal section and answering the question about it being from the Massachusetts Board of Retirement, and going through the MA state section "Pensions and Annuities Summary" to verify the 1099-R was excludable from MA tax (G - Tax-Exempt), I'm still getting this error when attempting to e-file:
I did enter as Qualified Government Distribution.
One point is that my total distribution is different from my taxable amount. These differences were entered from my 1099R form.
During the State Review process is continually opens the window at top of this message.
