So he retired at 58 and would have recovered his cost in 260 months -- by 2016. Usually, though, when I see a blank for "taxable amount," there is some special situation, like disability retirement or a survivor pension. Helps to know when he started his federal career, to figure how much he would have paid in after-tax contributions.
Rule of thumb: If he has a pension file dating back to when he retired, take a look. Otherwise, it's all taxable. And Pub 721 is a good source.

Start at page 8 and estimate if they have recovered their contribution. https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/p575--1994.pdf
Once you determine, you should be able to input the computed amounts into the system so it would automatic. I don't do PS, so I can't help with those steps. Come back if you need help and I will try to get someone to do so.
Here's wishing you many Happy Returns

For anyone searching for answers to this question...
Found this tool that seems to do a good job of producing a chart of annual exclusion amounts for you, assuming you have the information needed to answer the questions. Just print it out and use it till the exclusions run out.
https://cotaxaide.org/tools/Annuity%20Calculator.html
Note the other answers in this thread. If the exclusions have not already run out,.just subtract from the amount in Box 1, and enter for Box 2a. Good luck!
