Federal Service To Date is the time you spent in the service (military or government).  TurboTax believes you currently in the armed services or working for the government.

I received a $48 payout after my mother passed away. I got a 1099-R. I am confused, now Oregon wants to know the federal service to date. My mother was 97 years old and retired years ago. What do I put in that box?

You can reach out to your local state agency.  See this FAQ  for more information regarding how to contact your local state agency  Or, you can reach out to the institution that issued the 1099-R.

If you did not report the stimulus payments received and then received the Recovery Rebate Credit on your tax return, then the IRS will adjust your refund or amount due to reflect the stimulus payments you actually received. You do not have to take any further action or amend your tax return. 

 

Per the IRS, If you entered an amount on line 30 but made a mistake in calculating the amount, the IRS will calculate the correct amount of the Recovery Rebate Credit, make the correction to your tax return and continue processing your return. If a correction is needed, there may be a slight delay in processing your return and the IRS will send you a notice explaining any change made.

Mine is asking me the same question and I haven't served. I went back to see if I entered the wrong answer to the question but I said No to been in the Military.

Go back to "Your xxxx Oregon taxes are ready for us to check" . . .

and choose the [Edit] box on Income.

 

Under "Here's the income that Oregon handles differently" 

[Revisit] Retirement / IRA and Pension Distribution Adjustments

 

Leave the "We received federal pension income for federal service" tickmark, ticked

(because that's not the way to fix this error)

Press [Continue] instead

 

and, "Review Federal Pension Benefits" (even if one mistakenly reported federal government service pension benefits.   Press [Continue]

 

and this is where one edits and deletes any non-blank values under the column Deduction.

Simply, [Edit]

and then blank out any entries in Pension Benefits, Date Work Began, Points earned . . . , Date Work Ended.

Blankity-blank it all.

 

That will blank out one's Federal Pension Income on one's Oregon taxes.

I do not know the date when my late husband retired.  He died 17 years ago.  This is the first time Oregon requires his ending service date in those 17 years.

THANK YOU! After "thinking" the problem was solved with an agent on the phone, it wasn't solved and I hung up with him because I thought I was good to go. I followed your message and fixed this hour long headache!
