Answer summary
When filling out the TDAC for a flight, if you hold a non-O visa for retirement, you can select "Others" and specify "Retirement". Many users reported that marking it as "Holiday" or "Return Home" worked without any issues during entry. It appears that it does not significantly affect entry, and you have the option to leave certain fields like visa number blank.

it doesn't matter . . . I travelled on my retirement extension, I entered "holiday" into the TDAC, no questions asked. And keep in mind, the "departure" field and the "visa number" field are NOT mandatory - you can leave them blank

It doesn't matter what you put it will have no bearing on your entry.

It give an option "not staying more than 90 days". Pick that one.
