How do I force the W-4 Calculator to take my taxable pension into consideration when calculating updated withholdings?

I receive a taxable pension and my wife is still employed.  When using the TurboTax W-4 Calculator, Intuit stated in this forum that a pension should go under other income but that does not allow me to identify how much I received thus far, YTD  withholdings nor does it calculate what I should have withheld in 2019.  Instead it places all additional withholdings in my wife's W-4.  The only way I can see to force the calculator to take my pension into consideration and calculate updated withholdings for both of us would be to enter it as monthly wages.  I can then transfer my numbers to a W-4P.  Anyone have any suggestions on the proper way to handle our situation?  

Thank you,  Howard

Well ... I would enter it as a W-2 and choose the monthly pay period so you get the correct info to put in the W-4p.
