Oregon military $6000 exemption

In order to get the (military pay) subtraction option to appear in the TurboTax state of Oregon program module, you first have to "set" or "establish" the conditions for it on the federal side of TurboTax.

Specifically, you first need to tell the program in the Personal information section, at the very beginning, that you have military pay.  Second, in the Federal income section, after you enter your relevant W-2 wages, you will want to check the box under "Uncommon Situations" specifying military.  Third, after you then complete the rest of your federal tax return, and begin your Oregon state return, the military pay subtraction will "automatically" appear as part of the state interview.

But, if the preconditions have not been correctly set up on the federal side of TurboTax, the Oregon military pop-up will not appear automatically in the state module.
