This is my Second Year of filing FED and STATE return for a Traditional IRA (Pre-Tax) to ROTH IRA Conversion. NJ State has already taxed my Federal TSP contributions, however, NJ Division of Taxation requires filing taxes on TSP earnings.  Therefore, a partial taxable amount is required (i.e. NOT a full conversion of the ROTH Conversion Amount).

The PROCESS of seamlessly transferring tax data  from the TurboTax FED forms in to the TurboTax STATE forms lacks clarity; i.e.  in other than patchy messages from "reddit users" etc.    Is there a more formal discussion about handling this TurboTax FED to NJ State form data transfer and any tips/cautions on the full process.   I know this is a big ask!  Any help , suggestions or link updates would be appreciated.

When you are completing your New Jersey tax return there will be a screen discussing the Roth conversion.  You'll be able to enter amounts previously taxed by New Jersey that aren't taxed now.  Look at this thread for screenshots.
