Searching: " Can we get a pension exclusion on NJ return if we make more than $100,000?

[dorothycs4]

 NJ return = Husband and I file jointly. We are both over 62.  Income is over $100,000. Both receive pensions.  He is finished with 3 year rule.  I am doing general rule and have $94 to exclude on that method.  On Turbo Tax, the pension exclusion page reads 0 exclusions.  However, NJ 1040 line 19b reads 250.  I don't understand where that figure is coming from.  Is that possible?  If it is incorrect, how can I change it on NJ1040?

No you cannot.

Line 19b is the excludable portion of any distribution you received from a contributory pension, annuity, or IRA. This is the amount that represents your previously taxed contributions.
