Just eliminate the entire box 15-16-17 line for the NJ FLI on the software form...and put that $$ amount in box 14 instead. There is a selection for the description in box 14 for NJ FLI..
Apparently NJ want to see the FLI on the actual paper W-2, that your employer issued, in box 17 (if you end up having to mail-file on paper), but it doesn't work there at all with the tax software....so put it up in box 14 for the software entry.
Only your actual NJ wages and NJ income tax withholding go in boxes 16 & 17 (with "NJ" & the proper NJ ID number in the two parts of box 15 )

And just to be sure you understand W-2 entry....if you had multiple employers, each separate employer's data goes into it's own separate software w-2 form. AND... Each employer may send out a W-2 with several W-2 sheets (in case you have to mail file), but all the W-2 data from that employer goes into one software W-2 form.
