Overriding is not necessary.  A cash balance plan is a defined benefit plan.  Enter it as such.   TurboTax does not limit the amount that you are permitted to report as contributions to a defined benefit plan.

You can only do that in the Desktop program.  Are you using Online or Desktop?  What do you want to change?

I assume Online as I had to enter a license code.  Need to override line 16 on Schedule 1 as the software does not provide an option for a Cash Balance Plan and the adjustment is being capped at a lower amount as a result.

Thanks

@Hinebaugh - license code means you are using the desktop version....you downloaded the software to your desktop / laptop, right?

 

You don't want to override, not only can you not e-file, it invalidates the Turbo Tax warrentee.

any override prevents e-filing.

The amount taxable is not correct, how do I change it.

1. Why do you think that the amount on the 1040 is not the correct taxable amount?

 

2. After you entered the 1099-R data, did you go through an interview asking a series of questions about when the pension/annuity started, how many payments you have received, and a number of other questions that seemed irrelevant?
