You should have a paper copy on a FORM 1099-R that reflects the military pension that you received.  You should NOT prepare a substitute 1099-R. 

 

Here are some contact numbers if you don't have a copy of the 1099-R ,

 

For additional help, contact the appropriate Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) office:

..........that question varies depending on what state is your Residency state for tax purposes.  Soem states won't exempt military retirement pay..others exempt all of it

 

So we can't tell you which choice to make, until yo tel us what state is involved.......to see what I mean, look at some these for various states:
