Why does my state return say that I am on active duty? I got out of the military in 2019. I verified I have not selected military at any point. How do I correct this?

I already confirmed that it is not selected. @DanaB27

It depends.
Are you working for the same employer but just not as active duty? If so, you may need to review your input in the Wage section as well. After you enter your details from your W-2 form, there is a page titled Let's check for uncommon situations. Make sure the box titled Active duty military is not checked.
There also may be a question that needs to be unselected in the state interview section of the program. I recommend reviewing your answers in the state interview section as well to ensure nothing is still checked.
If you are still encountering issues after doing the above, please comment with your specific state.
