Where do I input my portion of my monthly tax that is tax free under the general rule. I am not sure I did it right in the past.

    Is this from OPM?

     

    If you receive annuity payments from a nonqualified retirement plan, you must use the General Rule. Under the General Rule, you figure the taxable and tax-free parts of your annuity payments using life expectancy tables that the IRS issues. For a fee, the IRS will figure the tax-free part of your annuity payments for you.
