Retirement tax questions

@MarilynG1 Employee Tax Expert

1 You said "...  indicate who made the contribution...

After 40+ years of "Married filing jointly", which combined all yearly NJ-1040 contributions,  (TP+SP = Total contributions), your answer does not tell me how to to use TurboTax to create a (TP+SP) Worksheet C for RMDs in retirement.   NJ allows (TP+SP) Worksheet C, and that could reduce the taxable portion of RMDs this year.  Can you contact TT designers of NJ-1040 forms and ask if they allowed for this option?

 

2.  You said " all or part of your pension income is excluded".  You missed the point.

Ask designers why my 1099-R entries in TT for 401(a) and 403(b) RMDs are not correctly recorded on the "Pension" worksheet C as taxable income, so the "excluded portion" is never calculated on  Worksheet C.  I try to fix it manually by marking an 'x' in the first column, "Check if this is an IRA distribution", but why does this not happen automatically during 1099-R entry?  And am I correct in fixing it this way?
