From what you have stated you were deployed in a combat zone for the last part of 2018 and the first part of 2019. Combat pay is not taxable income. The way combat pay is reported on your W-2 is in box 12 with a code Q.

If you put your information into TurboTax the same way you see on your W-2 you have reported your income for 2019 correctly from the military.

Thank you for your service.

My child joined the military and left for basic in September 19, 2022, does that mean she only lived with me for 9 months?
