Why is TurboTax telling me I am not eligible for a Lump sum retirement credit when I did not take the credit in a prior year and it was NOT through IRC 403(b) or IRC 457?

To qualify for the lump sum, you must meet these qualifications, according to Lump sum distribution credit:

Line Item Overview: If you take this credit, you cannot take the $50 senior citizen credit on this year's return or on any future return.
To qualify for this credit, all of the following must be true:
 

  • Your modified adjusted gross income less exemptions is less than $100,000;
  • You were 65 or older during the tax year;
  • You must have received a total, lump sum distribution from a qualified pension, retirement or profit-sharing plan; AND
  • You have not previously claimed this credit.

To clarify, is this a credit on your state return because the federal government does have the credit. if it is for state, what state?
