Hello. I am a bit confused as to why Turbotax is generating a NJ nonresident return claiming we owe taxes, and I am hoping someone can help. This return conflicts with the "NJ taxes due" number at the top of the screen which says "0".
Situation: My fiance lived in NJ for a few days in January 2021 before we were married and she moved to PA with me. While living in PA with me, she got a job in NJ. Her employer has only withheld PA taxes per the reciprocal agreement. When I go through Turbotax, it is correctly generating a NJ resident return for the days she was a NJ resident. However, it is also generating a NJ nonresident return and claiming we owe NJ income tax. We should only have to submit the NJ resident return correct? Not a nonresident return too right?
Additional detail: We sold no property from NJ sources nor obtained any other NJ non-wage income while living in PA. Also, we are filing everything jointly.
The only thing I can think of that is triggering this is that I answered the question, "Did you earn any income from NJ sources while living in another state?" as "Yes" because she did earn wages from NJ while living in PA. This seems to be the only values that the nonresident return is using to calculate the taxes due.
