Retirement tax questions
The reason that TurboTax deletes your Income Exclusion for 04E, Federal Pension entry, is because a Federal Pension is automatically not taxable in either your Federal or State Returns.
Here's a workaround to exclude your Military Pension 1099-R from taxes in Louisiana. Use Code 49E, Other, on the Income Exclusions entry screen. On the next screen, type in 'Military Retirement Pay' for your description. This will exclude the income from your Louisiana Taxable Income on Form RES.
