I split the NJ and non NJ tax exempt interest amounts when I posted the 1099 DIVs in the Federal portion of the software

Yes, there is a place to enter tax-exempt interest dividends in TurboTax. Here is how to find it:

  1. Login and continue your return.
  2. Select Federal from the menu on the left, then Dividends.
  3. Add a new 1099-DIV or edit the one you have already entered.
  4. The next screen should show  Tell us if any of these uncommon situations apply 
  5. Click on 3rd option. My State doesn't tax all of this interest
  6. Then select in the box below New Jersey (screenshot 1)
  7. On the next screen click on My form has info in more than just box 1, this will open the detail where you will add the exempt interest on box 14 (screenshot 2)

The steps provided in the solution was not available in my Turbo Tax. I ended up deleting the accounts information and re-entered it. I was able to allocate the tax exempt dividends in the proper manner. 

I think it was a random software bug that was resolved when I re-input the information

 

thank you for your assistance.
