the statement is still true even if "all those past years" only amounts to one particular year in your situation.
Your unrecovered contributions are $2,000 and that goes into turbotax.
That amount will be pro-rated and TurboTax will hold the numbers for next year.
If you're not going to use turbotax next year you should get the Worksheet C from the NJ Instruction booklet.
as I said also, with the recent establishment of the NJ Retirement Income Exclusion, unless your income is over $100,000, you don't have to worry about this. you don't have to track unrecovered contributions. just enter zero for Part A/line 4a.
