I just tried the suggested fix, and it did not work. Here are some additional specifics (with example numbers):
The $45,000 number was entered in the section for Governmental Pension Exclusion
(Did you receive a pension or other distribution from a New York State or local government pension plan or a federal government plan?) [*the answer to that questions is "yes", so I entered the total pension amount of $45,000 there*]
Then, when going on to the next section, this is what is shown:
Total federal taxable non-disability mentions and IRA distributions: $45,000
New York deduction for governmental pensions: $45,000
New York deduction for railroad pensions: $0
New York deduction for other pensions: $20,000 ["This is the number that is un-editable*]
-----
Total taxable pensions and IRA distributions: -$20,000 [*This is what TurboTax comes up with...*]

What next?
