I'm doing my Idaho state taxes. My military retired pay is not taxable but it doesn't ask me about it. Am I putting something in incorrectly?

You are correct ID does have a deduction for part of military retirement benefits up to $36,132 ($54,198 if married filing jointly) if you meet one of the below criteria.

- You must be age 65 or older, OR
- You must be disabled and age 62 or older, OR
- You must be the single surviving spouse of a qualifying retiree who meets the above age limitations.

If you meet the criteria be sure you have indicated in the "My Info" section that you are "former" military (retired).

Then revisit the ID state interview
Continue through and you will arrive at a page titled "Retirement Annuity"
You should click "Yes" for "Military Retirement".
The next box is where you put in the amount of military retirement distribution.
The next box click "Qualified" from the dropdown menu.
