Early Pension withdrawel

[BobS-]

Can I enter this in the retirement exempt section. It's not public

[MichaelL1]

All pensions should have a 1099R and are entered as follows:

To enter pension and annuity Payments (1099-R)

•    Click on Federal Taxes
•    Click on Wages and Income
•    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

Then each State determines if it is exempt from the State tax laws, based on income and type of pension, as some only exempt government pensions.
