Yes, you are allowed to claim a pension subtraction. There are still some income limits, however.
2019 Michigan MI-1040 Instructions page 17 state the following:
Tier 1 • Recipients born before 1946 may subtract all qualifying retirement and pension benefits received from federal or Michigan public sources, and may subtract qualifying private retirement and pension benefits up to $52,808 if single or married filing separate, or $105,615 if married filing a joint return.
If your public retirement benefits are greater than the maximum amount, you are not entitled to claim an additional subtraction for private pensions.
NOTE: In addition to the public retirement benefits listed above, the private pension limits are also reduced by the following from Schedule 1, line 11:
• Military retirement from the U.S. Armed Forces
• Retirement from the Michigan National Guard
• Railroad retirement.

It depends on your age and type of retirement. By entering your details in TurboTax, if the retirement is taxable or partly taxable, the income will be sorted accordingly. It is based on your age as well as the type of retirement income.
For the taxability of retirement rules, see: 2020 MI-1040 Form 4884 instructions beginning on page 18:
