You only need to enter "Retired" for your Occupation.  This information is only used for statistical purposes.

Where are you being asked to select an occupation from a list? At the beginning of the My Info section, where you enter your name, birth date, and Social Security number, you can type anything you want for Occupation. There is no list to select from. You would enter Retired.
