New York State $20K Pension Exclusion for Inherited IRA

[FloridaBound]

My wife and her two siblings inherited an IRA from her mother who passed in 2021. In reviewing New York  publication 36, my wife would only be intitled to take 1/3 of the $20K pension exemption. When I get to the state section of turbo tax I go into the Wage and Retirement adjustments section of the Changes to Federal Income page. I identify the distribution as an inherited IRA and fill out the subsequent pages with the appropriate information (specifically the Enter Decedent Information). After going through the screens it takes me to the Pension Deduction Summary page where the $6,660 pension exemption isn't identified. I've tried various options but nothing seems to work.
