State tax filing

Assuming these are 2 different jobs-

 

If the first W-2 is for wages EARNED in NJ, and the second W-2 is for wages EARNED in PA, 

file a NON-resident PA return and claim the wages earned there. 

 

Next, file a RESIDENT return for NJ and claim ALL your income. You will get a credit on your NJ for the tax you pay to PA. 

 

Always do the non-resident return FIRST so the program knows what to enter for the credit on the resident return. 

 

IF BOTH W-2 are reporting the same job, please continue the question and provide more information.
