I do have it correctly entered under the 1099-R govt income. Chat - guy came on and then exited. Waited for call and then they called and hung up. 😞 I went ahead and paid for upgrade to just get this answer!

Yes, you are correct federal civil service retirement benefits are not KS taxable income. The exclusion from KS taxable income is actually done in the federal interview.

Two items to check.

First, in the form 1099-R entry topic go down to box 15 and select Kansas from the state menu. Don't worry about the other state boxes leave them blank if they are blank on your form 1099-R.

Next, after completing the form 1099R form entries continue through the interview and you will arrive at questions asking about the source of the pension. There you can select the federal retirement option.

Continue to the end of your federal income interview. Now you can select your KS state interview and edit the "Income" topic. You should see the personal exemption for the 1099R amount.
