My Louisiana military retirement was added as a part of my state taxes. Military retirement is exempt from Louisiana state taxes. It needs to be fixed by Turbo Tax now!

Well, the entry/correction is fairly straightforward.

1) IF you haven't filed your LA taxes yet...you just go to the Federal section where the 1099-R is, and EDIT that 1099-R...and step the the follow-up pages and select the "Federal Retirement Benefits (Code 04E)" selection as shown below for a person with $25,000 of Military pension.   You have to do that every year when you enter your Military 1099-R as long as you remain a Louisiana resident.  (Military pension is just one of the Federal retirement systems)

2)  If you've already filed Federal and LA...and the e-files were accepted...then you start and an LA amendment, and then go to the Federal section and edit the 1099-R (as noted above...and picture below)....then print and mail-fiel the amendment to LA.
