well, Im not seeing it anywhere either.

I saw that TurboTax has a place for it when you enter the 1099R, so I figured PS would as well....maybe Im looking right past it...Im not seeing a spot for the subtraction on the 540 Form CA either, so I cant even chase it back to the point of entry

@Kathi_at_Intuit  is it staring me right in the face?

heres the instructions for TT but we dont have a state "use code" box for line 16

It's an adjustment on California  Sch CA, page 1, line 5 (pensions etc...).

Lacerte has a box to check "qualifies for military exclusion" on the W-2 input screen.

Maybe this will help you PS users track it down?
