Hello,
I took a Cares Act Covid Distribution, I elected to pay 1/3 of the amount on my federal last year and at the time of filling my taxes last year while doing my state taxes ( NJ ) I could not do the 1/3 amount so I ended up with the whole amount for my state taxes.
This year I get to the following screen (see attached) while working on my state taxes.My issue is that I reported the complete amount on my state taxes last year and this year I am getting this screen. What should I do?

You only need to verify the information, then continue. If it was a Covid distribution and you chose NOT to pay it over three years to New Jersey, select No for the first question.
The second question is what triggers the deduction.
I am assuming then selecting the "Yes, this is nontaxable income for New Jersey" is the way to go, selecting the other option "no" for question 2 triggers a deduction based on the amount that is spread in 3yrs.
Still have questions?
