Retirement tax questions

At “State Type Code” under the “What kind of retirement income do you have from Pennsylvania?” question, there are 18 selections, none of which appeared to match my lump-sum distribution from a non-qualified annuity with Transamerica Life Insurance Company. One at a time, I selected each of the 18 and hit “Continue”. Only 4 of the 18 gave me the result I needed, i.e., PA tax only on the gain from my contribution (my basis that was previously taxed). The selection that most closely seemed to match my situation was “Life insurance or endowment”; thus, I chose it, and proceeded without complication to a successfully-filed return. TurboTax should fix this part of their app to make it less confusing. The rest of the app was excellent.
