The Military Refitment field just showed up as something new in 2021, to allow the deduction for all Military retirees (At least 20 years, or medical discharge-retired)...even those not eligible under Bailey. For instance, a military person retiring in 2023 with 20 years, would have entered service in 2003, which is far too late to be Bailey-eligible.
NC DOR didn't indicate whether former Bailey-eligible military folks should change to the new deduction,,, they just said you can't claim both.
