I am trying to enter income from the Municipal Police Employee's Retirement System in the turbo tax software so that it is exempt on the LA tax return. I have entered all the information straight off the 1099-R and in the state section I have entered La as the issuing state, LA as the state number (none is shown on the 1099-R form) and 0. as the taxable income for LA. These are all blank on the 1099-R. On the LA form in turbo tax it is showing this as taxable income just as it is on the federal form. What do I need to do differently? I tried the turbo tax chat online and the guy was not helpful. Not sure he understood what I was asking.
