Tax breaks for military vets

I was active duty(AD) military in 2023. My state (KY) doesn't tax AD military pay. My state form in Turbo Tax it's not exempting my military pay. How can I fix this?

I have additional W-2's that are not exempt. Last year it asked me which amount of my total was exempt ( Active Duty Pay). I have confirmed with my state (KY) that AD military pay is still exempt. How can I correct this.

I only have S2s and a military retirment 1099. Why am I forced to use the $65 "Deluxe" edition?

I separated 23Oct2023. For the section covering my military status on 31Dec2023 should I select Active duty (I left the military in 2023) or Former member (veteran)?

My understanding is that 100% (not 10%) of active duty pay should be reported as an income exemption. I would adjust it myself, but it's locked.

How can I remove the question as to what branch of military service I was in? I am not a current or former service member.

How do I verify I have no military service.

I am active duty military and on my W-2 on box e/f it doesn’t give me an address. Just Bawanla1. What should I submit my form? Use the address I used to live before?

How do I prepare a joint federal return and separate state returns? My husband is active duty military, so his home of record is currently different than mine.

We need to file two different state income tax- since I work where we currently live and his home of record is a different state. How can we file on Turbotax, joint federal but two different state income?
