Get your taxes done using TurboTax

It's asking for other wage adjustments because it wants to know what income is taxable to New Jersey and what income is not.  That W2 from the New Jersey school is 100% taxable to New Jersey and you indicated that when you entered it as New Jersey state income at the bottom of the W2.  And that Colorado income isn't taxable to New Jersey because you earned it after you left.  So you have to make sure - as you go through the step by step process - to tell the New Jersey system what income you earned while in New Jersey and what income was earned elsewhere.  

 

Your pensions are all taxable on your federal return but may be exempt in Colorado.  Make sure to pay attention to all of the questions that the system asks after you enter the pensions on the federal return so that it can be excluded from the state income if it qualifies.
