Yes I does seem that my employer has done something incorrect. There are two wages listed one for NY and one for NJ, but the one for NY is my whole yearly salary. Say I made 80k total all year that is what is listed for NY in box 16. For NJ in box 16 it has a portion of the 80k, say 60k. But I did not make 140k this year only 80k. So I believe the portion amount is what I made in the 9 months I lived in NJ. But my NY total is just the whole amount that matches what it says in line 1. Seems like something might be off. I believe that is what is causing extra confusion for filing.
