I have not figured out yet how NE allows for that situation, nor how they justify doing that yet....but, the actual instructions for line 8 of the 1040N are as follows (my italics & underline):
"Line 8 State and Local Income Taxes. If you itemized deductions on your federal return, you must enter the amount of state and local income taxes reported on Federal Schedule A, line 5a even if the total amount of state and local taxes was limited to $10,000 ($5,000 married, filing separately) on Federal Schedule A, line 5e. If you entered general sales taxes on Federal Schedule A, line 5a, do not enter an amount on line 8"
