TurboTax Desktop and the Virginia Military Retired Pay Subtraction

TurboTax does not prompt us to enter the military retirement pay on our Virginia Tax Form. My wife and I both receive military retired pay and now have to file an amended return for 2022 to deduct $10,000 each for our retired pay.

I wouldn't have known about it except for a friend telling me.

It incrementally increases to $40,000 for each military retiree in 2004.

When I called TurboTax, they offered to show me how to enter it but it still isn't a prompt to help all military retirees in Virginia. Need for TurboTax to update the Virginia Tax forms to prompt military retirees, spouses of deceased miltary retirees and divorced persons of military retirees who receive retired pay to deduct the military retired pay they receive up to the allowed amounts.

Probably applicable to all desktop versions - it may prompt for it on the online TurboTax.
