Teachers' pensions, from the NY state teachers pension plan, are not taxable in NY. When you enter the 1099-R in the Federal section, you come to a screen asking you to select the source of the pension. What you check there determines if the pension is taxable in NY or not. Go back to your Federal return, to retirement income, and edit this 1099-R to go through the questions again. Choose state pensions to make it nontaxable, unless you see another category that better describes your pension.
