On mass form 1 in section 3 I have a problem with a tax exempt portion as reported on a 1099r.  This pension is from federal employment and is not taxable by the state.  The system says there is something wrong with what I am doing.  I have been doing this for a lot of years the same way.  I went back to my federal income and everything I put in the OPM 1099R entry is correct.  What do I need to do

    You should go to the section of TurboTax where you first entered the 1099-R in the income section.

     

    In the State Information, Box 14-16, do not enter anything in this area, since your pension as a retired teacher is not taxable in Massachusetts.

    The OPM 1099R is a CSA 1099R.  The boxes you are talking about are not o this CSA. 1099R
