Verna comes to you for help with her tax return. She worked for 17 years in a factory and then worked for 22 years in a state job. She opens up a big brown envelope and takes out many pieces of paper. After you help her sort through the papers, you determine that she had the following income:
  • Form 1099-INT for interest on her savings - $3,951
  • Form 1099-INT for interest on her checking - $504
  • Form 1099-INT for interest on her CDs - $1,832
  • Form 1099-R for pension from her factory employer - $2,637 (fully taxable)
  • Form 1099-R for IRA distribution - $1,030 (fully taxable)
  • Form 1099-R for pension from her state employer - $17,044 (She has been getting this for several years and she shows you the Simplified General Rule Worksheet that indicates that $219 of each monthly payment is nontaxable.)
  • Form SSA-1099 with an amount of $3,692 in box 5.

She also had receipts for medical bills, prescriptions, real estate taxes and contributions. They totaled $3,904.

What amount should you enter on lines 12a (amount of pension) on Verna's Form 1040A?
