Most likely you have either selected the "military or former military" button in "My Info" or when you entered a W2, you answered a follow on question by selecting a 'military" or "national guard" box.

Understand.  

 

1.  Click "My info" in left hand menu

2.  Click "Edit" on right hand side for your name

3.  Scroll down to question about "military" or "former military" 

4.  Answer "no" if it does not apply

5.  Continue

6.  Click "Federal" in left hand menu

7.  Click "Income & Expenses" tab at top of page

8.  Find "Job W2"  Edit

9.  Edit a W2 and be sure no boxes are checked as military or national guard in any follow on questions after entering/editing each W2.
