Q. How can box 1 wages be the same as ONE of 3 states in box 16?
A. It tells you that all your income is taxable by NJ (your resident state), even the income earned out of state. But NJ will give you a credit, or partial credit, for the tax paid to the other states.
Q. Does Box 16 have to total to box 1?
A. No, for the reason stated. But, sometimes that may cause a problem in TT. Be alert.
