Why does this program keep defaulting to a $20,000 Subtraction on the military pension exclusion?

I did not enter this subtraction amount, nor can I remove it or edit it?

Please advise what state tax return you are referring to.

This is likely the result of indicating during the entry of a Form 1099-R that the distribution was from active or reserve military retirement.

CA - I believe this is a new (2025) option for former (retired) military members.

Thank you - actually, retired military. This appears to be a new deduction (2025 - 2029).
