Are you talking about the screen that asks "Where Is This Distribution From?" It's not clear what you mean by "a military disbursement." Do you mean that it's selecting the first option, "US Government (Including Military)"? Which option did you select initially? Please give the exact wording.
As SteamTrain suspected, if you edit the 1099-R, or go back to the screen in any way, the selection on that screen may be different from what you selected. For some of the selections it does reset to "US Government (Including Military)." It does not appear to make any difference in your New York tax return, but to play safe, if you go back to that screen, reselect the correct option.
@SteamTrain
I'm not sure what you mean by the "form code." Are you talking about the State Use Code (or "special use code") on the 1099-R? There are 10 options on the TurboTax screen. There are only 4 State Use Codes for New York, so obviously several of the selections put the same State Use Code on the 1099-R form. There is no "New York State Employee Pension" option, so I don't know which option doodlenoodle01 is selecting. When you go back to the screen, it does reset to the first option in the list that uses the State Use Code that's on the form. So that probably explains what doodlenoodle01 is seeing. We'll know for sure if she tells us precisely which option she selected and which option it resets to.
