@maryjorose456 You do not have to file any state return at all then. WA has no state income tax. And the fact that your pension checks come from MI does not mean you have to file a MI tax return. If you did not live in MI in 2023, you do not file a MI tax return.
You *might* only need to file a federal return. That return will have your SS and the pension. But whether you even need to file a federal return is not clear----you have not told us the amounts of your SS and the pension.
You need to file a federal return if half your Social Security plus your other income is $25,000 when filing single or head of household, or $32,000 when filing married filing jointly, $0 if you are filing married filing separately.
Do not try to enter your SSA1099 or RR1099RB as a W-2. Go to Federal> Wages & Income>>Retirement Plans and Social Security (SSA1099 and 1099RRB) to enter your SSA1099.
To enter your retirement income, Go to Federal> Wages and Income>Retirement Plans and Social Security>IRA 401 k) Pension Plan Withdrawals to enter your 1099R.
