State tax filing
I was able to do some trickery to get the forms to (kinda) work.
I had to go to my personal information and change my date of birth to 1950, even though that is no where close to what it really is (I was born in the 70's). This allowed me to go through the rest of the Michigan retirement/pension income steps, and the questions for Public Safety Officer were there, which then checked box 6a on the forms (Schedule 1 and 4884). These are the 3 screens after entering the information for the pension (where you choose type "G"):
screen 1:
Screen 2:
Screen 3:
After completing these screens I went back and corrected my age, and the forms stayed correct. I was using the desktop software version so I was able to look at the individual forms as I went along. It seems to work as well with the online version.
Feel free to send me a private message if this isn't clear and I can try to help out.
Hopefully Turbotax fixes the glitches so we don't have to resort to trickery to get the forms to populate correctly.
PS-I was able to e-file my state and it was accepted yesterday.
