I have a question about my 1099-R. I am filing my taxes and in the section under "These Situations May Lower Your Tax Bill" there is an option to select "Other Reason"

[lrcaston9]

I see this option "The deferred annuity contract was purchased by your employer, because their retirement plan or retirement annuity plan terminated, and the employer held the annuity contract until you stopped working there".  My plan was terminated but I'm still working there.  Can I enter the amount in the other reason section?

No.  Only these situations can go under other.
