Thanks fanfare for the response. With respect to the guidance provided, if I understand you correctly, it appears that the "Inherited" designation carried over from my federal return (which I've filed electronically already) to my NJ state return can be edited to list the LT sales category instead to allow me to e-file my NJ tax return rather than mailing in the NJ return. Is that correct? If so, wouldn't that change raise a potential red flag if my federal return lists "Inherited" and my NJ state return lists something different (i.e., the LT sales category instead)? Secondly, since the inheritance of our mom's house and subsequent sale of that house occurred in the same year, I would think changing the date acquired to be greater than 1 year from the date of sale to fit the LT sales category would also raise a red flag that I do not want to do, since if I were to change the date acquired to be greater than 1 year from the date of sale, I would be submitting falsified information. As such, I will keep the "Inherited" designation on my NJ return to be consistent with my federal return and mail my NJ state return in this year.
