How do I get PTE payments made to post as a federal only deduction?

[cmoellenbeck]

I'm having trouble finding the appropriate location to enter state PTE payments made in a way that will impact the federal deductions, while leaving the state level un-altered.  I've spoken with support, and their solution was to essentially enter it in the normal deduction fields, and use state level overrides to alter the state figures.  Surely there is a more appropriate and efficient method to accomplish this.  Any help is appreciated!

I don't do ProConnect, but it might be helpful for someone that does use it if they knew what state you are dealing with.
