The income is not taxable. The response I got back from Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) is that they do not handle amendments and to take it up with the IRS.
The advice you gave does not help the situation as I have received a 1099-R as previously mentioned, and the Turbo Tax Intuit is telling me to fill out the 1099-R as received I have received it in the box. But upon further review, they are saying that I should fill it out as it "should have been" and then the Form 4852 is where I explain the "Determination" [what is wrong with the 1099-R (or missing form)] AND "Efforts" [what were my efforts to get the 1099-R corrected (or receive the missing form)]. Then if I am filing by mail, I would print the Form 4852 and send it and if I am e-filing, it will be electronically be taken care of by Turbo Tax.
I just printed up the Form 4852 for my record anyway. I guess I will open a new thread on the TSP distribution bit.
Thanks so much for your prompt help. It did help facilitate me in getting to the above steps I have described since the 1099-miscellanious was taking me to "self-employment" income in which this situation is not it.
