Can I get tuyrbotax to handle retired military pay correctly for louisiana?

Louisiana should exclude military retirement pay.  Turbotax keeps including it as table income with my return.

Follow these steps:

  1. Open your return
  2. Go into the LA state program 
  3. Just a few screens into the state, the program asks, Any Other Income Exclusions?
  4. Select 10E
  5. enter the amount

Thank you! First constructive answer yet. However, Turbotax seems to be rolling back this change after I do it. Getting this response:

Could you please make the image much larger? I can barely read the heading "We'll Remove Your Entry", and cannot make out the text below it at all.

OK...this is from some years ago....but it used to be that you took out those $$ when you entered your Military 1099-R in the Federal section.....as the selection for: Federal Retirement Benefits, code 04E.

 

This is selected on a page that follows where you entered your main 1099-R form.....looks something like the following (older picture...may look a bit different now):
