NJ other income non taxable

[gabjo00]

Hello All,

Have a few clients who had babies this year and received paternity pay from private insurance (family leave).  This income is federally taxable and is reported on form 1099-misc.  However, from everything I have researched it is not taxable in NJ.  What I am having trouble with is removing the amount from flowing through to other income on the NJ return.  I tried to (negative) it out and it failed efile.  I called NJ state practitioner line and was told just zero it out by not showing it on the NJ return. How in the world do I do that in proseries bc it automatically flows through to state.  I guess I can override it but I think it will also fail efile.  Anyone else???

Can't you override the field on the NJ return?

I did override it.  Thought I would get an error in efile but I turned off error checking and it went through.
