You are not doing anything wrong.
New Jersey taxes you on all income earned. Then, they take your income earned in New Jersey and divide it my your total income, to arrive at a factor to reduce your income tax in proportion to the amount of income you earned only in New Jersey. So, your total New Jersey income will include your New York income, but your tax will factor out the portion of that income earned in New York.
