Tax help for military filers

This is apparently late, but I just saw the questions.  According to the instructions, you enter the amount on Sch A:  instruction page 13

Military Retirement

Each individual may exclude the greater of 75% of their retirement benefits or $10,000, but not to exceed the amount included in the Federal Adjusted Gross Income. The retirement benefits must be from any component of the Armed Forces of the United States.

 

Comment:  The instructions are not very clear, but it appears you would enter into Sch A, 75% of the gross pension...but not to exceed the amount included the Federal Adjusted Gross Income.  Thus it appears if your gross pension is $25,000, you could deduct $18,750...as long as $18,750 was included in your AGI of your Federal Income Tax return.
