Good news! I was able to fix the pension exclusion problem and the related two earner subtraction problem. The two earner subtraction was not being allowed because by double excluding the Maryland pension there was no Maryland income for my spouse so we were not eligible. I had to fix the pension exclusion first.
I went to forms view and opened the pension exclusion worksheet. I did not override the calculated number. Instead I used a worksheet for that line item and entered the correct items and amounts. The worksheet picked up this number and the pension exclusion was corrected! The software worked fine after that and I was able to e-file. Thank you to all who tried to help!
