State tax filing

I am going to have to ask some funny questions, because I have found that the software is placing a lot of limits on this deduction. For example, if you were born after 1952, the pension deduction doesn't work at all, no matter what other information you entered.

So:

1. Is your spouse deceased? Sorry for suggesting that, but the Michigan instructions have lots of rules here.

2. What was the birth year of your spouse?

3. When you saw "When clicking "pension is from public safety officer"" , and "Even though in the interview method, I indicated that this pension was from a public safety officer pension. " was this in the 1099-R interview or in the Michigan state interview? 

4. Did you see this?"
