California AARP Tax Aide Question

[RetiredAndLovingIt]

I need clarification on entering the new CA Military Retirement Pay Exclusion.
Am I correct that for now we enter it under Subtractions from income-Other subtractions on the California Schedule? I got a copy of an e-mail discussing this but the Duck Book has not been updated yet to clarify the correct entry method. I entered one last night in Practice Lab and it seemed to work correctly.

Yes, we are entering it as a subtraction in the state section as "other". TaxSlayer has an open issue for this, but in the meantime the tax is calculated correctly if you enter it on line 8z, where the "other" entry ends up.
