This is a special act for retired law enforcement that pays their insurance post tax

Enter Form 1099-R exactly how it appears. Answer Yes to the question, if you were Employed as a Public Safety Officer (law enforcement officer, firefighter, chaplain, or member of a rescue squad or ambulance crew).

Answer Yes, if the Pension Administrator Paid for Health Insurance.

Enter the total amount paid for the Health Insurance Payment Amount. If needed, TurboTax will reduce the deduction to the $3,000 allowed.

It is my understanding that this year, even if you paid your own health insurance, you are able to take the $3000 deduction for law enforcement. The pension administrator did not pay for my insurance. So, how do I enter this to deduct the $3000?
