Are my pension payments from my deceased Mom's Georgia Teacher's Retirement system taxable by IRS?

[TomYoung]

Almost certainly the answer is "Yes".  Generally pension payments are taxable, though some part of the payment might be excluded because of after tax contributions by employees.

[DoninGA · Accepted solution]

Yes, the benefits received are taxable on your federal tax return.

See this website for the Teacher's Retirement System of Georgia - http://www.trsga.com/retiree/your-benefit/taxes

You should be receiving or have received a Form 1099-R for the benefits received.

To enter a form 1099-R -

• Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
• Click on Wages and Income (Personal Income using Home and Business)
• Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
• Scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security
• On IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R), click the start or update button

Or enter 1099-r in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen.  Click on Jump to 1099-R
