Let's try option #2

Reporting your pension as "Other" income (which will show on Schedule 1) in TurboTax is an available method, though it might complicate claiming a pension income exclusion on your state return. 

 

Here's how to do it:

  1. Log into TurboTax - must be logged in for link in step 2 to work
  2. Click on Miscellaneous Income:
  3. Scroll down and select Other Reportable Income and enter your pension details.
