Why does my Georgia tax return show military exclusion but we have never been in the military?

My Georgia state return has already been filed and I just noticed that the forms have a military exclusion filled out. Neither of us have ever been in the military. Someone suggested deleting GA form and starting over but since it has already been filed and accepted, should I be concerned?

    You need to look at your Georgia tax return Form 500 Schedule 1.  Is there an entry on Lines 7b and 7e?

     

    You may be confusing the Military Retirement Exclusion with the Retirement Income Exclusion.  The Retirement Income Exclusion is available for Georgia residents who are age 62 and older.  It will be on the Schedule 1, Lines 7a and 7d.
