    Adjust your state return. I recommend deleting your state and re-adding it.

    To delete and re-add the state: 

    • From the left menu select State>
    • Continue>next to your state, click the Trash Can icon and follow through the rest of the questions ending with Done
    • Click Add Another State>Your state>and go through the interview again.

    For your reference, see 2019 Pennsylvania Individual Income Tax Form PA-40 Instructions, page 8, you are correct. Military pension benefits are not taxable for PA PIT purposes.

    The program will ask you to select what type of retirement income is represented by each 1099R.  Do NOT select "annuity".   PA treats the taxable portion of a commercial annuity as taxable interest.
