I am a salaried (W-2) employee working in NYC and reside in NJ. I also completed both the Federal and NY State returns before starting the NJ State return
In working on the NJ State return, I am prompted to confirm the taxable state wages and to remove duplicates since both the NY + NJ totals are listed on the W-2. Which is the correct one to remove:
- NJ (higher figure); or
- NY (state where income is earned)
