    The deduction is on the MD 502SU. You create the deduction in the federal section when you entered your 1099R.

    The questions and screens vary a bit by program but you can get the idea with these steps:

    1. No to IRA
    2. No to PSO
    3. Select MD
    4. Select active or reserve military retirement
    5. From a Non-Qualified Plan
    6. Continue

     

    Form 502SU, Subtractions from Income states:

    • Military Retirement Income. Individuals at least 55 years of age on the last day of the taxable year may claim up to $20,000 of military retirement income, including death benefits, received in the taxable year. 
    • Individuals under the age of 55 on the last day of the taxable year may claim up to $12,500 of military retirement income received in the taxable year.
