State tax filing

Make sure that you have indicated that you are active-duty military in order to trigger the state return to apply deduction. 

There are two places where you indicate that you are on military active duty: 

• The first is in the "My Info" section after you enter your name and occupation. You can click on "My Info" on the left and then click on "Edit" next to your name.
•  The second is on the "Do any of these uncommon situations apply to this W-2?" screen, right after you enter your W-2, you can check the active-duty military box for the W-2.

During the State interview, you should see  "Here's the income that Indiana handles differently" screen. Click on "Start" to answer questions then you should be able to qualify for the deduction.

You can also get to that section of your return as follows:
