State tax filing

I am working remotely in NYC, but my income source is still coming from IL, which is why I continued having IL withholdings on top of NY and NYC withholdings after moving. Additionally, box 16 on both my IL and NY W-2s are the exact same amount, so I believe that both states taxed me on the same income amount, and I can get credit for the taxes I paid in NY. The main confusion is around the fact that the local wages and taxes (box 18-19) differ from boxes 16-17 on my NY W-2, so I'm unsure if I should be entering these as separate entries or combining them into a single entry.
