I have a client in NJ who is disabled, but not blind. How do I get the exemption on NJ only?

Line 8 says "Blind/Disabled," meaning one or the other. Check the box.

This does not work properly. When checking the "blind" box, it also marks it as blind on the federal 1040, and increases the standard deduction. I only want disabled exemption on NJ.

You use Lacerte, I use Pro Series. You lost me.
