NJ TDI Payments Not Listed in W2

[Inna3]

Hi,

I am in the process of filing my parents taxes. I have completed the federal portion and am now filling out the NJ State Tax portion.

Background 

Both my parents are working 1 job each, they are filing as Married Filing Jointly, and they each received a W2 from their jobs. My mother works for the state in a state run medical facility. My mother had a terrible fall at home in mid-September 2024 causing her to not return to work until the first week of December 2024. She did not work at all in that time period and she received Temporary Disability Insurance (TDI) payments while she was not working. On her 2024 W-2 form, there is an asterisk (*) at the top with words next to it saying This Amount Includes Taxable TDI. The asterisk also appears next to the amounts in boxes 1,3, and 5. There is no Box 13 Third Party Sick Pay box at all on her W-2 and there is no TDI amount or other amount related to TDI listed on her box 14.

Question

As I am filling out the NJ State Tax section I TurboTax, I came up on a step that asked if there are any payments related to personal injury or sickness that need to be excluded. It states that there should be an amount listed in Box 14, but there isn't. How can I ensure the TDI payments are excluded properly if there is no TDI amount listed in box 14?

"This Amount Includes Taxable TDI."

if it is taxable, you can't exclude it.

If you cannot be bothered to read and properly comprehend my post, please do not reply or I will report your response. This forum is meant to help people.

I stated clearly in my post that these amounts are taxable federally but are not taxable at the state level and can be excluded. I am not asking if it can be excluded or not because I am well aware that it can already. I am asking how to exclude without the TDI amounts stated separately from the regular wages on the W-2.
