My wife stopped her life insurance and took all the money in it. I am guessing it was an annuity, anyway we have been paying into it for a long time so we got the check and the money was taking out for Fed tax . the amount was 51,000.00 TAXABLE was 9,000.00 but turbo tax is calling it retirement money and has added it to our income. I filled out the 1099-R information

Should just not worry about how turbo tax is calling it??

TurboTax is calling it retirement income because the withdrawal was reported on a 1099-R. 1099-Rs are used to report annuities, pensions, IRA's, and other retirement income.

For more information, refer to the TurboTax Help article When to Use Tax Form 1099-R: Distributions From Pensions, Annuities, Retirement, etc.

I am not sure how we have paid $300.00 a month for over 30 years and now they want us to claim the $300.00 a month that I already paid taxes on, they want us to claim it as INCOME?? that's not right.

Am I misunderstand this?
