pso deduction

hey folks, where do I enter the pso deduction?  I'm not retired so no 1099 R but I've looked for hours and can't figure it out.  Turbotax needs to make this easier.

The PSO deduction is a way for allow Public Safety Officers to exclude up to $3,000 for health insurance premiums from their pension. Pensions get reported on 1099-R forms.

 

So, no 1099-R, no pension, no PSO deduction. 

 

Don't blame TurboTax, blame the people who wrote the Tax Code (that's Congress).
