I'm doing Kentucky State taxes using TurboTax. The first screen is the following:

Pension and IRA Basis Differences

  Enter any addition to pension income due to the 3 year Recovery Rule.

 

I have no idea what the 3 year Recovery Rule is or how is applies to me.  What value am I suppose to be looking for to enter in this space?

    What state?

    In NJ,the tax website explains how to use the 3-year and General rules on an NJ tax return.

    You should consult your own state's information.

    It only applies to 401k and other pension accounts, not to IRAs.
