My pension plan's taxable amount has NEVER been calculated by me.
It's asking me how I calculated it, but I never have. The NC State Employee's Retirement System always sends me a regular 1099.
This year the whole amt is taxable because the Bailey Settlement has run its course (my gross is the same as my taxable and shall be henceforth). But even when it was going on, I never had to calculate, so I cannot answer these questions. It's demanding I tell how I calculated the taxable amount in the past.
How can I keep it from sending me into this loop when we review the federal at finish?
