How do I remove my military pension from my adjusted gross income for state taxes purposes?

Clarify the state you are inquiring about.

I am filing state taxes in Utah which excludes 100% military pension without any income caps.  Turbo Tax still included my pension in UT state AGI which is incorrect.  How do I correct this?

You must go to the 1099-R entry in the federal taxes section and indicate it is a Military pension to get the Military Retirement Credit.  @flisur

 

Mary, I did that from the beginning (annotate as pension) but Turbo Tax keeps showing my AGI for Federal and State as the same despite that.  I believe there is an algorithm problem because clicking the "?" explanation indicates turbo tax believes there is an income cap for UT which there is NOT.

I would like to take a deeper look at this. However, I need a diagnostic file which is a copy of your tax return that has all of your personal information removed. You can send one to us by following the directions below:
