thanks for that workaround. what i received was a w-2 so i was trying to keep within that category. i tried several things and the solution that seemed to work: under the w-2 input, choose the state (NJ) and then input zeros in the income boxes. the income was then not included in the total on the NJ 1040. When i had left it blank, as turbotax instructed (the form had blanks), the income WAS included in the NJ 1040 total.
