IT 112 R line 24a

The New Jersey tax as calculated was $7909 and I used that same amount on line 24a. I cannot get rid of that error message.

Should you need more info, you may reach me at [phone number removed] (my land line) or [phone number removed] (cell phone). I have been preparing tax return for me and my family and have been depended upon Turbo Tax software.
