I have paid into the South Carolina Retirement System all 32 1/2 years that I worked, through June of 2018, and have received the Credit each year. Then I retired effective 6/30/18 and began receiving a retirement check. No matter how I enter the info, Turbo Tax will not give me the credit for the 6 months' worth of contributions. Can you explain to me the reason?
In SC, our Retirement System had a program called TERI. We could retire and keep working and drawing our usual salary, and our retirement check was put into a TERI account--we did not receive it. On June 30, 2018, it was rolled over into a 403 (b) account and it is still there. I haven't touched it. Could this be the reason? I was told I didn't have to report it because I didn't receive it, but I'm trying to be honest. I just want to know why I can't get the Saver's Credit for the 6 months I worked and contributed?

For the purpose of this credit, your eligible contributions may be reduced by any recent distributions you received from a retirement plan or IRA. The credit is designed to help folks save for retirement, not reward them once they are retired. The year is looked at as a whole.

Did you receive a 1099-R for that rollover? Your eligible contributions may be reduced by any recent distributions you received from a retirement plan or IRA. However, rollovers that are not taxable should not do this - is your 1099-R taxable by some chance? You would need to see why that is.
Also there is an income limit over which you receive zero credit. For married filing joint, it is $63,000 or for any other status, it is $31,500.
