In the 1099-R section of the federal tax interview, you'll need to indicate that this is a public pension received from a federal, state, or local government (click the first screenshot below for reference.) Then TurboTax will automatically calculate your Missouri retirement deduction, which will be indicated during the Missouri state interview (click the second and third screenshots below for reference.)
