On the OK return it allows you to deduct up to $10K *for each eligible taxpayer* on taking a law enforce pension distrib, but it did NOT deduct $20K on my joint rtn, why?

I have verified that I checked from an Oklahoma Government Retirement system when entering the 1099-R.

When it says, "allows each individual taxpayer to deduct up to $10,000", I took that to mean on a married filing jointly return, $10K could be deducted for both the retiree and the spouse.  Thus, equaling a $20,000 deduction on the Oklahoma State return. TurboTax is only deducting $10K. Will it NOT deduct the additional $10K for the spouse unless both persons are OK Govt retirees? If that's not the reason, I don't understand the part of your original response that said, "Oklahoma allows each individual to exclude their retirement benefits up to $10,000, but not to exceed the amount included in the federal adjusted gross income." I don't know this amount because TurboTax hasn't shown me this information or my adjusted gross income. Please advise further. 

Maybe. Only distributions from the retirement plans below can be deducted in OK.

The retirement benefits must be received from the following and satisfy the requirements of the IRC: 

• An employee pension benefit plan under IRC Section 401, 

• An eligible deferred compensation plan under IRC Section 457, 

• An individual retirement account, annuity or trust or simplified employee pension under IRC Section 408, 

• An employee annuity under IRC Section 403 (a) or (b), United States Retirement Bonds under IRC Section 86, or 

• Lump-sum distributions from a retirement plan under IRC Section 402 (e). Provide a copy of Form 1099-R or other documentation.

Notice that this includes only plans and not IRAs.
