NJ $3,000 Vet deduction. Will Turbotax ask for vet status?

[Critter]

Yes .... the program includes all tax related items ... however you must read the screens carefully so you don't miss it ... and since this is something new it may not be incorporated into the program until later in January so don't try to file too early.

Where will we find it in TurboTax?

[Critter]

Since this is a NJ item look for it in the NJ interview.

[michaelfiss]

It asks about Military Veterans in the state section Less Common filing Situations.

Hmm...if it's buried there, I suspect some folks are going to miss it (much as they do the Federal Sales tax deduction.)
