Identified military pension on federal income tax. Missouri exempts taxing military pay. However, military pension income entered does not show up as an exemption in the Missouri software. Identified the same problem in 2016. Turbo Tax fixed the problem.

Go through the Missouri interview until you come to a screen entitled "Missouri Pension and Retirement Adjustment" (it's a ways in). Note that military pension is listed as excludable.
Hit Continue.
The next screen should report the amount of your pension that has been excluded in Missouri.
If the software doesn't recognize your pension income in Missouri (so it can exclude it automatically), go back to the federal return and make sure your pension information was correctly entered. Worst case, delete the Missouri state return and re-add it, to re-import the federal information.
