pa tax credit for Delaware Tax

[eraichek]

I recevied a W2 for a deferred comensation distribution.  My work location was Delaware and I was a resident of PA.  The total amount shows in Box 1 and in box 11 with and additional note in Box 11 of Nonqualified plans.  The state amounts in Box 16 are split between PA and DE.  When I complete the Delaware tax form the DE amount show as other income.   In the PA tax credit the box to enter my amount is grayed out, so the tax credit is 0. 

Should I put the DE amount in the wages and compensation box instead of other, so I can enter my amount and have it calculate a credit?  In all previous years my DE income /taxes resulted in a PA credit.  When looking through PA tax documents.  When I look at the PA.GOV schedule G/L, it doesn't have an other income line, and the PA documentation does not seem to reference any form of income that is excluded 

"Use PA Schedule G-L to calculate and report the amount of
resident credit claimed for income tax, wage tax or other tax
(measured by gross or net earned or unearned income) paid
to another state when the other state imposes its tax on income
also subject to PA personal income tax in the same taxable
year"

Also the TT note on the other income amount mentions a 457 Distribution.  This seems to be a plan for DE state employees, and my plan was through my private company employeer
