Here’s how my 2 hour phone call went. We completed all the taxes, fed and state, and my mil retirement pay was not excluded from state taxes. Then we went back into the state form and added the 04E exemption on the page that asked for other exempt income and walla, it deducted my mil pay and reduced my tax burden by $1000.00👏. Now the important part. If you click on the continue button it will remove the exemption because it believes it is a duplicate, so DON’T HIT THE CONTINUE BUTTON. Just back out using the menu on the left and then navigate to the review. Good luck🤞
