Some states have specific exclusions for military pension or retirement, and even though the 1099-R is paid from DFAS, TurboTax asks the question to be sure that you will qualify.
I,m Retired 20 yr active duty military . I live in Minnesota. On my state portion of my return. can i reduce my taxable income by that pay amount. I already entered my 1099-R on my federal
You are looking for the credit for past military instead of the subtraction for active duty. Follow these steps:
Please see MN military reference for more information.
Hello, if i select Credit for Past Military Service , it states that i do not qualify because i took the Military Pension or other Military Retirement pay subtraction under Income adjustments. Turbo Tax States that i can only claim pension subtraction or the credit but not both. i do not qualify for past military service credit because i made over 37.500. Can i claim my full Retirement pension under Income adjustments ?
In MN you would subtract all of your military retirement pension. The subtraction is the better tax benefit in your situation.
I failed to take the income adjustments for my Retired Military pay on my 2018 Minnesota tax, can i file an amendment for this ?
Yes,
If you've filed your return and need to add additional information, then you will have to prepare an amended return in TurboTax.
If you used TurboTax Online, simply log in to your account and select “Amend a return that was filed and accepted.”
If you used our CD/download product, sign back into your return and select “Amend a filed return.” You must file a separate Form 1040X for each tax return you are amending.
Amend ONLINE OR Amend CD/Download Amend 2016 - 2019
You will have to Mail the amended return. The IRS limits the system to only one Social Security number or Tax ID to be E-Filed. The states follow the Federal guideline. This is to guard against fraudulent tax returns.
