How do I file a jury duty pay statement?

My spouse served on a jury during the year and was paid for salary and travel.

You cannot enter jury duty pay in TurboTax Free Edition. You will have to upgrade to one of the paid editions, or use any edition of the CD/Download TurboTax software.

If you are eligible you can use the IRS Free File Program delivered by TurboTax which is free to file both a federal and state tax return. The IRS Free File Program delivered by TurboTax edition is a full featured personal tax program and on a separate website from the TurboTax online editions.

Is Jury duty taxes only for federal? I entered it in (only $24) within the Federal Taxes>Jury Duty, but I didn't see the amount carry over anywhere to my state forms. I didn't see anywhere to enter it within the State tab either for TurboTax Deluxe.

Jury duty is added to your federal adjusted gross which is the starting income on your state tax return.  Therefore, your jury duty is already included in your state income.  Verify that your state does not have an exemption/deduction for jury duty that you reported on your federal tax return.
