Oregon Tax Return

[stensland]

I have not paid Oregon State income tax since I entered the service from Oregon in 1974.  Why do you not allow me to enter the date that I entered the service so I don't have to pay?  Last year I didn't have to pay using your software.

Yes, OR does not tax federal government retirement for military service prior to Oct 1991.  You'll need to verify entries in the federal and OR state interviews.  

1. In Federal "Wages & Income" 
2. Edit your military retirement 1099R
3. After verifying form entries you will arrive at page asking "Where is your distribution from?"
4. Select "Federal Government..."
5. Continue 
6. Next Edit/Continue your OR state interview
7. Edit the "Income" section
8. "Start/Revisit" the "IRA and Pension..." topic
9. There you will be asked to enter your dates of service for the deduction
