My wife retired from teaching in Massachusetts in 2024 and started receiving pension payments. I got a 1099R from Mass Teachers Retirement and entered the income into the wages section of the federal gov't section of Turbo tax. There is no state tax on a teacher's pension.
No matter what I do, during the state tax review, I get "Form 1: Tax-Exempt Pension should not be entered directly on Form 1 for State Electronic Filing. You should enter the information on the Federal Return, For 1099-R and/or use the Pensions and Annuities Smart Worksheet to make any tax-exempt adjustments.
There's a scrollable Form 1 form in the "check this entry" window and that looks like you can edit it but you can't. I see in the Pensions and Annuities Smart Sheet my wife's pension payment total with a type of G, which is non taxable.
There are a number of posts in this forum from 2020 on and I've tried all the suggestions and nothing works. Help!
