If they treated the severance pay as taxable then you should have gotten a 1099-R which lists the amount of severance pay and the taxes withheld. You would enter the 1099-R as shown below and put in the full severance pay as a negative number in other reported income. If you didn't get a 1099-R you might want to check with the VA or DFAS.
