Exempt from what?   If you have a 1099R for a pension you must enter it on your federal tax return; pensions are subject to federal tax.   Information flows from your federal return to the state return.  The software will follow your state's tax laws pertaining to taxing the pension in WI.

 

 

To enter your retirement income, Go to  Federal> Wages and Income>Retirement Plans and Social Security>IRA  401 k) Pension Plan Withdrawals to enter your 1099R.
