Tax help for military filers

According to the State of Pennsylvania website, "Active duty military pay is not subject to PA personal income tax if earned by a PA resident serving full-time active duty or federal active duty for training outside the state. However, other income earned, received, or realized is taxable. Service members must submit copies of military orders assigning out-of-state active duty with tax returns."

After I enter my DFAS W-2 and check active duty military, on the state return I reach the screen Compensation Summary. That screen tells me that I need to edit that W-2 to mark it as non-taxable to PA. 

 

On the edit screen, Verify this Income, you can check that the Entire amount is not taxable, or that you need to adjust the income.
