Thanks for the fast answer, Monika.
No, I do have other 1099-R forms and Turbotax processed them correctly.
But this retirement income is reported on a W2 form. Also, Turbotax imported the W2 form directly electronically from the provider. The income is listed in boxes 1, 3, 5, and 11 of the W2 form. Also Social Security and Medicare taxes were withheld in boxes 4 and 6, but no income tax in box 2. All other boxes are empty. I don't pay state tax, because I live outside the US.
However, after reviewing all the appendices of the return I found to my great surprise that this income is now listed in line 8t of Schedule 1 and is offset by a higher negative amount in line 8z of the Schedule. That appears to also be the reason why I couldn't find the exact amount anywhere in the 1040 form.
So, I guess this is OK now, and I will go ahead filing.
However, this is very confusing because I'm receiving this retirement income for 11 years, always with a W2 form imported electronically directly from the provider. And Turbotax always (up to last year) reported it in line 1a of the 1040 form. So you can imagine my surprise when I now found a zero in this line. It would be nice, if Turbotax would inform users in advance and more clearly of such changes in reporting, which would have saved me a lot of excitement and time. I suppose I'm not the only user who gets a pension reported on a W2 form.
Best wishes, Karl
