Retirement tax questions

Enter your 1099-R and TurboTax will ask you several questions about your retirement income. You will need to indicate that you have a New York State Teacher's Retirement, after you enter the 1099-R. 

Make sure to choose that your distribution came from New York State and City Education since you indicated you have a New York State Teachers' Retirement System pension.

Make sure to say Yes when TurboTax asks if your distribution was from a qualified plan.

Your New York State Teachers' Retirement System pension will be a subtraction on your New York State return (IT-201) on line 26.
