It depends but if you are a resident of NJ, you will need to consider all income from all sources (not just NJ sources) when determining your NJ gross income.
If you
are a resident of NJ, according to the NJ department of revenue, you are required to file an NJ resident state income
tax return if:
- your filing status is married
filing jointly and your gross income from everywhere for the entire year was more
than the filing threshold of $20,000. (single/married filing separately -
$10,000).
If you are a nonresident or NJ, then you would only have to file NJ sourced income.
If you do not meet the filing requirements for NJ, then you will not have to file in NJ.
If you
can, go back into TurboTax, under the state taxes tab and delete NJ from
your list of state returns. If not just don't file the NJ state tax return.
If you
purchased an NJ state income tax return in error, you will need to contact
customer support to request a refund.
