Hi Fanfare,
Thanks for your reply.... After I posted my entry, I tried a few test runs.
Here's what I discovered...
There was another earlier post to place separate enteries for the Saving Bond interest (box 3) and normal interest (box 1) from the same bank.
=> I tried that with no success
Then I went back to each TurboTax entry that had normal box 1 interest. In these entries, when Turbotax asked the question.. "Do any of these uncommon situations apply?", I selected "None of these apply" instead of in NJ... So the only TurboTax Interest entry that I answered the I'm in NJ question was for the Savings Bond entry.
=> It appeared to give me the correct entries for NJ (lines 16a & 16b)
=> Possibly I mis-intrepreted the question and selected NJ for all of the interest entries???
