Question

Military Pension Tax Status in New Jersey

I received $39,000 in military pension payments in 2019. Turbo Tax says that income is NJ State taxable, at least in my personal turbotax NJ state calculation. I though New Jersey did not tax military pensions. Am I wrong?

My Military Pension is not taxable in NJ but Turbo Tax says it is. How do I fix this?

Yes, military pensions are not taxable in NJ.

Please select that it was a military pension on the "Where is your distribution from?" screen after entering your 1099-R information.

Login to your TurboTax Account
Click on the Search box on the top and type “1099-R”
Click on “Jump to 1099-R”
Enter your 1099-R and continue (make sure NJ is selected as state in box 15)
On the "Where is your distribution from?" screen select "Military Pension"
