TurboTax identified this issue and has updated the software. You’ll need to sign in to your TurboTax account and review your retirement income, as the NY Pension Exclusion entries may have changed. If your pensions are fully exempt, please follow these steps and make sure all the required fields are completed:

1. Open your return.
2. Click on Personal Income, under the Personal tab.
3. Click Edit next to the 1099-R you want to correct.
4. Enter the information as shown on your 1099-R. 
5. Answer the questions on the next two screens.
6. Make sure the correct source of your 1099-R is selected. In addition, keep the NYS distribution amount as the full pension distribution. It will be shown as deducted fully on a later screen.
7. Click on From a qualified plan on the screen Was this distribution from a qualified plan?
8. Answer the required minimum distribution questions on the next screen.
9. Finish answering the questions about your 1099-R.
10. Once you are back to your federal 1099-R summary screen, click on State Taxes tab above. 
11. Click on Edit for New York.
12. The next screen should be your pension summary screen and will show your pension fully deducted.
