No, do not remove the New Jersey wages from your New Jersey return. If you earned the acting income in New Jersey, then it is taxable in New Jersey. As a nonresident of New Jersey, you will be taxed on any income that is earned in the state. New York will also tax you on the same income, but your resident state will give you a credit of taxes paid to New Jersey. This eliminates double taxation.
When filing both a nonresident return and a resident return, it is best to complete the nonresident return first in order for the credit of taxes paid to be calculated correctly.
