Where do I deduct/take the deduction for $10,000 for my Oklahoma Teacher Retirement on Turbo Tax?

[DaveF1006]

It depends. once you enter your 1099R in your return, there will be a follow-up question asking you the source of the income. Here you would indicate the is from Oklahoma Government Retirement. Once you check this box, $10,000 is automatically reported as an exclusion in the retirement worksheet in your Oklahoma state return and entered as a subtraction on Schedule A-1 in your Oklahoma return.  It is also reflected in Oklahoma subtractions in Line 2 in Form 511.
