So then they bring back the 'guts' of the TT return. and  Line 5a has like $20,800, but the taxable amount line 5b is like $26,000. of course that impacted taxable amount of SS, to get to the difference in our returns.  I've been ding this about 4 decades, but i'm pretty sure that I've never had the taxable amount of a pension, be actually more that the total distribution.  and this passed TT error check.
