Thank you Sharon.
I completed my NY return. I am now at the screen in the NJ return where TT asks says "Tell us about the money you earned in New York". It wants to know: "the double-taxed income while a resident of New Jersey" and the "Tax paid in New York".
In the NY return I divvied out the interest, dividend, and cap gain/loss income between the states based on the percentage of the year I lived in each state (70% NY/30% NJ). But I reported 100% of my wages in the NY return because the NY W-2 reported all my wages in state wages box 16 and taxed all of it.
Can I assume that the "income" in this screen refers to wages? How do I calculate "the double-taxed income while a resident of New Jersey" and "Tax paid in New York"? I guess a related question is how much wages should be reported in the NJ return? (The NJ W-2 has a number in state wages. I don't how they determined it. It's about 12% of my annual wage. The state income tax box is almost nil.)
