Review error line 9a

[DPNJ]

Hello to the wonderful people who always help.

I don't know what this refers to so I can't go to the form to review.

Any idea?  I ran review and this was reported as an error.

I'm baffled!

Thanks, as always.

Please clarify by adding a little more information.

It appears it could possibly be with regard to a state Tax return, where the state excludes part of your retirement income.  Do you have Forms 1099-R that you entered?  What state are you filing for?  Does that state exclude a portion of your retirement income?

Hello,

Thank you.  Now that you mention it, it occurred before I went to finalize the state of NJ.  Yes - they do exclude pension contributions from the taxable amount.  I looked at the NJ return and don't see line 9a on the retirement income worksheet or anywhere else that I would answer accordingly.  The initial interview steps recorded  the taxable and non-taxable info for the pension.

Appreciate further guidance.

Thank you

Hello again,

The 1099 worksheet reports the employee contribition in box 5 already.

Thanks

Hello Linda,

I think I solved it.  I answered NO to the box 10 question, as there is no box 10 on the 1099.   The ruturn smart check cleared with no errors.  

Thanks again.

Ok.  I am glad you were able to resolve that issue.
