You need to review your PA return in TurboTax and find the Income and Adjustments option. Choose that option and look for the Compensation Summary screen and edit it. You will come to a section where you can make your military income exempt from taxation. Here are some screen shots:

You probably know this already, but your active duty military pay is not taxable by PA only if you earned it while stationed outside PA.
