TurboTax nor any other tax software provider would have a way to override that. Here are the steps to enter a substitute form 1099-R so you can report your foreign pension as such in TurboTax:
To enter a substitute form 1099-R in Turbo Tax follow these instructions:
- Go to the personal income section of TurboTax
