Remove your Georgia wages. If I’m understanding your question correctly, those are the only wages that overlap the New Jersey amount because the company withheld Connecticut tax, but no New Jersey tax, when you were paid to do post-production in NJ and counted those wages as CT income.
Your total earnings after you omit GA wages should be close to Box 1 of your W-2.
New Jersey taxes some benefits that the federal government and other states do not, such as retirement plans except for 401(k) plans, so NJ wages can be higher. It’s also possible you received some reimbursements that were included in your NJ wages which you can deduct on your NJ return.
If you worked remotely, your company should not have withheld CT tax. You can claim $0 income on your CT return and get back all your withholding. You’ll have to pay tax on that amount since nothing was withheld.
You can claim a credit on your NJ return for GA tax paid.
