federal service on Oregon taxes

[kloch11]

Hello:

My Oregon taxes are requiring me to state a federal service from and to date.  I did not work for the government or the armed forces.  It will not let me bypass the date in order to file my taxes.  What can I do.  I have the deluxe version of turbotax.  

Thank you,

Kris

Do you have income from a federal pension that is based on federal employment occurring before October 1, 1991?

 If so, you may subtract that portion of your federal pension income on your Oregon return. A federal pension includes any form of retirement allowance provided by the federal government to retirees or their beneficiaries.

If that doesn't apply to you, 

1. Revisit the Retirement section and Edit the 1099-R form.
2. Verify your entries. When you arrive to the screen asking "Where is your distribution from?" check if you selected  "Federal Government..."
