One thing to try is to NOT try to fix it in the review.
1) Go back to the 1099-R entry of that form in the federal section. Edit that 1099-R, and on one the pages AFTER the main form, you can select a checkbox to indicate it was for a military retirement. (Note that the NC distribution amount must be the value of box 2a...should be the same as box 1). This is only for a DFAS 1099-R...not for a TSP distribution (Though, some few TSPs may be eligible under special conditions).
2) then got thru the full NC Q&A from start to finish...there should be a page in there where you confirm the amount that was the military retirement distribution,....go thru the rest of it, and all the reviews again.
I think it would go thru OK then.
