How do you stop TurboTax from taxing a Roth Backdoor IRA in the State of New Jersey tax return?

Federal portion is correct;  however, when it transferred to New Jersey tax return TurboTax taxed the entire IRA  distribution.  The IRA distribution was converted to a Roth IRA - therefore money should not be taxed.

As you prepare your NJ return, you'll see a screen  Roth Conversion For You. If you had no other traditional IRAs existing before or after the conversion, you would enter the amount of the distribution as Contributions Relating to This Distribution Previously Taxed By NJ. See the screenshot below.
