State Pickup Amount (Box 14)

If you contributed to any mandatory state retirement system, please remember to report the state pickup amount as listed on your W-2 Box 14 1abeled "STPICKUP". This is reported on Maryland Form 502 line 3 (Additions to Income) or Maryland Form 505 line 19 code "G” (Additions to Income). The pickup amount represents your mandatory retirement deduction that you paid throughout the year. It is not subject to federal tax, but is subject to Maryland state and locality tax.

W-2?  Do you mean your Maryland state tax refund?
Did you e-file your tax return and was it accepted?  

Use this TurboTax website to check the status of an e-filed return and if it was either accepted or rejected - <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/">https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/</a>

If accepted by the state use this TurboTax support FAQ to check the state tax refund status - <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/2896714-how-do-i-track-my-maryland-tax-refund">https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/2896714-how-do-i-track-my-maryland-tax-refund</a>

If you really mean on your W2 like in box 14 you would have to ask the employer.

Understood, but how and where do you enter the information on turbotax.  the 1099-R required information is for pension withdrawal not for STPickup amount.

As SweetieJean noted, the STPickup amount appears on your W-2 in Box 14. You enter it when you enter your W-2.

 

When you enter it on the W-2 entry screen, be sure to choose the category of "Maryland STPickup".
