We won $2500 in the NJ lottery in 2017, but we didn't receive the money until 2018.I reported it on our 2017 taxes, but received the W-2G for 2018 taxes.What do I do now?

it's all non-taxable (less than 10,000) on a nj return for nj residents.but if you reported in the wrong year you want to amend your fed return

You will have to amend your 2017 tax return and include the W-2G on you 2018 return.
