State tax filing
You will not see “Let’s Confirm Your Taxable State Wages” in the New Jersey section unless you have state wages for both New York and New Jersey on your W-2.
Check box 16 of your W-2. If you worked in NY all year and lived in NJ all year, then your W-2 will usually only have a line for NY wages and tax withheld because NJ gives you a credit for tax paid to NY.
You can confirm the credit for NY tax on the screen “Summary of Taxes Paid to Other States.” You will see New York and a credit amount.
TurboTax will automatically compute this if you prepare your NY return first. If you started with NJ and don’t see a credit, you can Edit to enter your double-taxed wages and NY tax liability, or you can delete both NY and NJ and start over by adding and completing NY before NJ.
