Greetings, will answer your silly questions here (LOL):
1. Is your spouse deceased? Sorry for suggesting that, but the Michigan instructions have lots of rules here. - No, he is alive and well.
2. What was the birth year of your spouse? - 1967
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? - This was in the 1099-R step by step interview portion of the program
4. Did you see this - I had not seen that ! So, maybe it will take until Feb 13 for the software to be up to date?
FYI, it does not matter if the pension recipient is deceased, or how old they are. If they are public service officer (police in this case), they are exempt from all pension income at state level regardless (starting in 2023 tax year according to the new law). Thanks to advise if you believe the program will be adjusted by Feb 13, and if I should just wait until then. I was unaware of the below message. Thank you.
