Since third-party sick pay is not supposed to be reported at all on the NJ return but ProConnect Tax, by default, flows the amount to NJ-1040, here's what you can do:
- Go to the input screen for the W2 in question;
- Scroll down to the State and Local section;
- Enter -1 in the numeric field (for $0, Lacerte/PTO-speak); and
- Select NJ for state sourcing
This will keep the third-party sick pay on the federal return but won't flow it to NJ-1040, Line 15.
If yours is a NJ-1040NR, a couple more entries will be needed to make sure adjustments are made to both Columns A and B. Please come back if that's what you need.

If you are certain it is NOT taxable to NJ, then scroll down to (16) State wages, if different and enter a negative one (-1) to indicate zero.

I guess I had a shorter answer, but you are definitely more thorough.
