Retirement tax questions

Use TurboTax CD/download which, as I recall,  will allow an "explanation" for 1040 Line 4 or 5 when you e-File.

 

TurboTax Online won't do this.

 

Don't ask why the services are different, it makes no sense.

It's been like this a long time.

I guess TurboTax does not see consistency as a high priority.
