I am filing a North Carolina tax return. I have entered a deduction for military retirement pay. However I am having a problem with the software recognizing this entry.

There are two different options for where to put your military retirement depending on your situation. If it isn't showing anywhere on your form, you must not have answered all the questions to determine where it should go. For the Uniformed Services Retirement Benefits, you enter the amount that is exempt.

Review your federal entry of the form and your state. Important: Military retirees who deducted retirement income on Line 19 under Bailey may not deduct the same retirement income on Line 20.
