Should my qualified pension be taxed? Line 43 is $59,000, it includes a $15,000 pension and capital gains and dividends. Line 44 shows no tax owed. Shouldn't I pay tax?

Capital gains  & qualified dividends are taxed at a lower rate ... so at your income level they at taxed at zero % ... switch to the FORMS mode and  look for the qualifying dividends & cap gain worksheet to see how the tax amount was computed.
