Retirement tax questions

It is taxable federally, but not taxable LA state.  I had to manipulate Box 16 on my 1099-R to get it to exempt from LA state ( followed the advi ce below). However, when I go to review the LA state return, it asks me for the year of retirement to put on LA Schedule E. But I am not retired.  Do I put the year the original account owner retired or is there another error?
