For one 401K account, we did rollover to IRA two years ago. Now, we are getting RMD distribution from this IRA. For another 401K, we did partial rollover to IRA, then, convert to Roth IRA. TT makes all the IRA distributions, including RMD and conversion, taxable income by NJ. But, most of the 401K deductions were taxed by NJ already. Where can we indicate this to TT on this?

I was sent your question because I asked a similar one and got the following answer:
Beginning on January 1, 1984, New Jersey’s treatment of 401(k) Plan contributions changed. After that date, employee contributions to 401(k) Plans were no longer included in taxable wages when earned. If you made contributions to a 401(k) Plan before January 1, 1984, your distribution will be treated differently than if all the contributions were made after this date.

The first thing is to separate the federal taxes from the NJ state income taxes in your mind. Then look at your actual contributions to the 401K's (or "contributory" IRAs) and what was taxed by whom. The federal gov did not tax most of your 401K contributions unless you went over the annual limit. NJ, apparently, has not taxed them since 1984. If a government taxed your contributions once you should be able to get an offset (basis), but based only on your actual contributions, not the appreciated amounts. I have been using an accountant recently, but my recollection is that TT has Q&A to handle both the federal and NJ state versions of these adjustments to your RMD income. (See "nondeductible contributions to YOUR IRA" for federal; "IRA distribution" in NJ Q&A.)I was sent your question because I asked a similar one and got the following answer:
