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

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.
