To enter your U.S. Military Enlisted Pay into your Arkansas tax return:

1. Click on the State Q&A
2. Click Arkansas directly below the Basic Info tab
3. Click Income
4. The first screen will ask if you have military wages to enter. Click Yes and enter the proper amounts

TaxACT will transfer the amount of W-2 income entered during the Federal Q&A to the amount in the Gross Wages from Federal box, including your military income. You need to adjust the amount in the gross wages box by subtracting the amount of your military wages. Enter the full amount of your military wages in the second box labeled U.S. Military Compensation Pay, then TaxACT will properly figure the exempt amount.
