State sponsored pension, I had to wait to turn old enough to retire, (service+age=80 rule) company also downsized at same time. All funds put into annuity were pre-tax. Tubo-Tax accepts the pre 591/2 1099-R, no problem, but the latter 1099-R is a different beast. Turbo wants to know annuitants ages, survivor ages, amount when purchased? Well I worked there 32 yrs, so the early years were less than $50, latter yrs, over $300. When I try to call Tubo's customer service they either hangup or I get a recording that says I'm out of their service area! What is that about?? very frustrated to say the least with Turbo tax and the IRS for shoving a stick in the spokes this year for me.
