Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The maximum NJ UI/WF/SWF deduction for 2021 is actually $153.85. If the amount on your W-2 is more than that, the employer withheld too much.


To eliminate the error in TurboTax, just enter 153.85 instead of the actual amount on the W-2. It's okay to enter a smaller amount. When one employer withheld more than the maximum, you cannot claim credit for the excess on your tax return. The employer should refund the excess to you, but if the amount is small it's probably not worth the effort to pursue it.
