Retirement tax questions

Hi Bill,

 

I have read all the responses for this post and appreciate the time you put into it. I am having the same problem, yet I have taxable income. 

 

I completed the section but because I pay my health care provider myself from my monthly pension, there is no amount in box 5 to enter, so I am unable to take the $3000 deduction. It seems the system has not been updated for the change in law which no longer requires the payments to be made by the fund administrator. 

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.
