Last year, using TurboTax Premier 2018, I was not able to use the Maine State version because it would not allow me to take the Pension Income Deduction Schedule 1, Line 2d. I had to use the hardcopy of the Maine State Form 1040 ME. Has this problem been fixed for 2019?

If the TurboTax state software includes Schedule 1 for Maine then all the line items on Schedule 1 would be supported.

The 2019 state tax forms available by state are not yet published but will be shown on the following TurboTax support FAQ when they become available latter in December - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/forms/help/state-forms-availability-table-for-turbotax-individual-personal-tax-products/01/26227

The Worksheet for Pension Income Deduction - Schedule 1, Line 2d was not included in my Maine tax return. Maine allows both husband and wife to deduct up to $10,000 of eligible pension income. Please correct Maine form so that I may e-file.

Thank you.

I went through the Main program and was able to receive the $10,000 reduction in pension income.

First, I saw a screen that asked if I received retirement or pension income in 2019, to which I answered "yes."

Later, I was asked to enter my eligible pension income, and when I did so I received a $10,000 reduction from my income. Did you see these options in TurboTax?

It did work better in the 2019 version....in that it didn't work at all in the 2018 version...did give me useful practice using the State of Maine deduction worksheet.
