New Jersey: Do I need to enter the amount my spouse paid into the Federal TSP on New Jersey state return, even though his w2 lists it as "D" a 401k?

[sgclarke1]

His state wage box is higher than the federal wage box. He is a federal employee. I believe that he has a TSP, but the W2 lists it as D, a 401k.  Does his mean I need to enter it as additional wages to tax?

Just enter what is on the W-2 exactly as shown.

 I entered the w2 information exactly  as shown, in TurboTax,  under income. I finished the federal taxes.  The question pertains specifically to New Jersey taxes. When doing New Jersey state taxes, we are asked to input any info from 403b, TSP etc  - I believe that New Jersey only treats actual 401k as non taxable retirement contributions and all other retirement contributions ( tsp, 403b, ?437 ) must be entered on the New Jersey  forms and then are taxed.  I am asking because my husbands TSP is titled D as if it’s a 401k. My 403b contribution is titled E as a 403b.   
if anyone is federal government or has a 403b and  lives in New Jersey— is it correct that these contributions must be entered on the State form so that they can be taxed? ( the opposite of federal.) it’s weird there is an exception for 401k but these other retirement contributions are taxed income

"his state wage box is higher than the federal wage box. "

Doesn't that tell you that his NJ wages were not reduced, as they would be for a 401k ?

The difference should be the contribution to the TSP (D on the W-2) barring other adjustments.
