i did enter the amount of pre-tax contributions in that field in Turbo Tax. However, it was flagged as an error in State Review. TT told me that I could not enter that amount in MA Form 1, that it had to be entered in the Federal 1099R "and/or" in the Pensions and Annuities Worksheet. There is no field in the Federal 1099R to enter that amount, and of course it was TT, not myself, that entered it in Form 1. I spoke with a TT Rep, who was not able to figure it out. TT would not allow me to file electronically; I was forced to print and mail my MA return. Please investigate this "bug".
