OT- Plasant surprise! Taxes on Military retirees

Well, nice surprise!  It may have been in effect last year but I didn't
hear about it?  In 2024 taxes on Virginia military retirees, we get to
omit the first 30,000 of retirement per military retirement in a family
filing jointly.  Don't retiree income is below that so we got to deduct
my 30,000 plus his amount.

Looks like it was retro-active to first 20,000 in 2023 (or in effect
but not well known?).  That means amended state tax return for 2023 but
lets let the dust settle on this one.
