Where do I enter the $ 3000.00 exemption for Veterans on the NJ Return?

As you go through your NJ return, on the screen Less Common Filing Situations, check the box for Military Veterans.

Here’s some information from the State of NJ about this exemption.

I had the same problem, but it was answered. Where you enter your exemptions you will see a checkoff for veterans (12c). On line 29 is where you enter the amount you  calculated on the worksheet on page 28 of the NJ1040 instruction booklet. It's a nice deduction - thanks NJ.

Aside from checking the right box in TurboTax to claim this exemption, it looks like you need to submit your DD-214 or other documentation to t he state the first time you claim it. I file electronically with TurboTax. How do I submit this paperwork to the state to claim this?
