Retirement tax questions
IT DEPENDS:
As long as you had 5 years of service credited before 12 Aug of 1989...then you would qualify for the "Bailey Settlement" .
The procedure is the same in TurboTax every year, so (perhaps) print this out for next year and file it.
____________________________________________________
Go back and edit the 1099-R form in the Federal section.
After you enter your 1099-R form, and "Continue" thru the pages that follow it...until you find the selections for:
1) "Bailey settlement...."....................<<<<you are selecting this one
2) "Faulkenbury settlement...."
3) "Railroad Ret-SS.........."
4) "None of the above"
You need to select the "Bailey Settlement..."
Your NC Distribution amount is the same a box 2a of the 1099-R form (or the calculated federally-taxable amount for box 2a, if 2a is empty)....... that $$ will be removed in the NC section depending on what selection you made above.
(Picture Below)
.....Far fewer retired Military/Fed/State employees can exempt their Pension $$ if they retired this year. BUT...IF you were into your NC-State or Federal/Military pension system, 5 years as of 12 Aug 1989, you can choose the "Bailey Settlement..." and all of that particular 1099-R will be exempted from NC taxation...otherwise you will likely choose "None of the above"
So that 5-years employment by the Feds/Military, or NC-State Gov't-related plan, by 12 Aug 1989 is critical
.......if you weren't employed by the Gov't early enough to meet that deadline...then your Pension distribution is not exempt from NC taxation
