The $1,503 figure represents your New Jersey income tax, not the New Jersey tax you had withheld from your pay (box 17 on your W-2 form). When you complete your tax return, your tax is based on your income and deductions, whereas the tax withheld from your pay is simply an estimate based on your income. Your tax withheld is netted with your tax to determine your refund or tax due.
