Where can I put that I am a retired peace officer on my taxes?

Last year I was asked and able to get $3000 deduction for medical premiums.

When you enter your 1099-R, TurboTax will ask if you are a retired public safety official.  When you answer in the affirmative, TurboTax will guide you through to get the proper deduction.  

 

Here's how to enter your 1099-R in TurboTax:

  1. Open (continue) return if you don't already have it open.
  2. Inside TurboTax, search for 1099-R and select the Jump to link in the search results.
  3. Answer Yes on the Your 1099-R screen, then select Continue.
    • If you land on the Your 1099-R Entries screen instead, select Add Another 1099-R.
  4. Select how you want to enter your 1099-R (import or type it in yourself) and then follow the instructions. You can add up to 20 1099-Rs.
