My client tells me a portion of his NJ PFRS pension is not taxable in NJ for the first three years of collecting it. He made bi-weekly contributions during his career. But, he is unable to come up with the total contribution amount. 

A NJ pension fact sheet does not give many specifics.   

Can anyone offer some guidance ?

Tell him to do more research. Ex employer or the pension board should have it. Actually there is a place for it on the 1099R.

Answers are easy. Questions are hard!

He needs to contact the NJ Division of Pensions.  They have a letter with the pension information including total contributions.
