I'm struggling with this problem. From https://www.state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/njit8.shtml I see "An Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is a personal savings plan that consists of your contributions and earnings plus certain amounts rolled over from pension plans. In general, your contributions were taxed when you made them and are not taxed by New Jersey when withdrawn. Interest, dividends, rollovers from tax-free pension plans, and earnings credited to an IRA are taxable when withdrawn." which I interpret to mean that my IRA basis is not taxed on withdrawl, only the gains should be taxed.
But on the NJ TurboTax Deluxe program, on the Pensions, Annuities and IRA Withdrawals form I have entered the Value of all IRA's on 12/31/2019 (line 1a) and I want to put my basis on "Enter the total of IRA contributions previously taxed (line 4a) but Turbo Tax keeps complaining "Pensions, Annuities and IRAs Wks - SP: Part A, Line 4a and Part A, line 4b should not both be entered." Note that 4b has a 0 that I did not put that that I cannot remove.
I don't think the previous postabout contributions being taxable is right but I don't know how to resolve this problem using the program as written.
Can some explain what I am doing wrong? Or offer a workaround other than filing by paper and requesting a refund on my NJ efile fee?
