Retirement tax questions

"when I'm finished with that financial institution's income, it comes back with a "Needs Review" red button"

 

So was this in the Review, or in the 1099-R interview?

 

On my test, I created a 1099-R from the OPM, but I did not get the same results (the Needs Review was for other reasons).

 

After you entered the 1099-R from the OPM but before you got the Needs Review, did you look at your 1040 to see if the income from the 1099-R was there? Was the amount reduced by the box 5 entry?

 

Can you see your output forms (i.e., have you paid for the return)? I want to know if the amount you originally entered in box 5 appeared on Schedule A as a medical expense.
