NC State Taxes

I am retired military with over 20 years of service.

I'm using Turbo Tax Deluxe and in the State Tax section it asks me to insert the 'Allowable US Uniformed Services retirement benefit deduction'. Where do I get that number from?

It is "either" at least 20 years service, or medically retired if earlier than 20 years.

The $$ amount comes from box 2a of your DFAS 1099-R.

BUT

IF you have already claimed it under the Bailey Settlement, you cannot claim it again under the new Uniformed Services exemption...one or the other, not both.

That would be the medical military retirement benefits you included in your gross income as per this from the North Carolina Department of Revenue:
