Thank you for the tip but it did not solve the problem. The 1099-R had a zero in box 14. The total State Pick Up contributions were listed in box 17. Turbo Tax processed the subtraction perfectly. It created a subtraction (Code R) to exclude the full pension amount using the appropriate amount of contributions. The balance of contributions is carried over to next year. Maryland handles this like the old 3 year rule for federal pensions. However, there was then a disconnect when Turbo Tax also included the pension amount in the pension exclusion worksheet in effect excluding it twice. I'm sure the Maryland tax folks would not approve! It appears to me to be a software glitch. I have sent a comment to Turbo Tax support. Hopefully they can fix it or tell me what I'm doing incorrectly.
