Maryland excludes up to 29000 of pension income from state taxes. How do I identify pension income that may be excluded from MD income tax?

Maryland excludes up to 29000 of pension income from state taxes. There was no way to indicate this when I entered the 1099-R. Where do I do this in Turbotax Permier?

In preparing your MD tax return, TurboTax goes by the fact that the Form 1099-R has code 7 and not code D in box 7 and does not have the IRA/SEP/SIMPLE box marked.

Note that your exclusion amount is $30,600 minus whatever amount of Social Security income you received.  If you received $30,600 or more of Social Security income, you receive no pension exclusion.  ($29,900 was the maximum pension exclusion for 2017.)

My USG 1099-R has distribution code 7.  Are Code 7's excluded from the pension exclusion?

Code 7 means it is a normal distribution. 

Can you explain what you mean by "pension exclusion"? 

Is this for your Maryland state return?
