Why am I not allowed to enter my military retirement pay in the US Uniformed Services Retirement Benefits section of my state taxes for North Carolina?

It has to be entered in the federal section first before you can do anything with it on the state return. Where do I enter a 1099-R?

And possibly this:

I have seen a few others with this issue:

.....it may not be your situation, but they had to select North Carolina for for the state in box 15 on the 1099-R, where you entered it in the Federal section. Nothing else needed in boxes 14 or 16.

...unless you did happen to have some NC withholding in box 14. IF not, leave all the other boxes empty/blank....except for selecting NC for box 15.
