eligible for Social Security but still working

[lasorbonnerlk]

On the NJ state form, it asks, "Will you be eligible for Social Security?"  I am 67 years old, still working full time and have not yet filed for Social Security. Do I answer yes or no?  If yes, Turbo tax will not let me change the answer.

If you will be eligible for Social Security, just answer truthfully -- yes.

There's a legitimate reason for asking this in your New Jersey interview.  If a taxpayer or their spouse won't ever be eligible to receive Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits because their employer(s) didn't take part in either program, they may qualify for a specific exclusion.
