It would be helpful to know which state tax return you are referring to?

Hello, I'm in Louisiana and my $46.9K military pay should be excluded from LA income. I reviewed the inputs for hours and everything is entered correctly, I manually calculated the tax and was correct to the penny showing that turbo tax is not reducing the total income by my military pension. I have to go in and select 49E Other and then write in "military pay exclusion" and then I get the correct amount. Why is 04E not an option? Why is it not reducing my income by correct amount? Thank you!
Also, with regard to my LA state tax, selecting Federal Retirement Code 04E or Code 05E or selecting None of the above (which it states in the Learn More on the page will deduct qualified amounts) , not a one changes the tax due for state???
Thanks
You must make the selection in the federal section of TurboTax on the 1099-Rentry. You will see a follow-up question after you enter the 1099-R (See below) This will give you the correct 04E option.
