    Form 8880

    Does military retirement disqualify retirement savers credit? My software doesn't allow the credit, but I thought military retirement was not a disqualifer.

    Military retirement doesn't disqualify. It's not a plan that he got a tax benefit from. The disqualifers are basicly the IRA's, 401ks, and the likes. Check your software in that it may be automaticly putting any 1099R's in the field. Just back it out.

      Everybody should pay his income tax with a smile. I tried it, but they wanted cash

          I use ProSeries.

          There is a box on from 1099-R you need to check "if not from a qualified retirement plan".

          I't right below line 15.

            I use Drake and it does a fantistic job. Maybe someone out there who uses Pro series will step in and help you.
