Do both W-2s have your full income in box 16? The same amount in box 16 of both W-2s? One has NJ in box 15 and one has DE in box 15?

I assume they think I made the money in NJ but I already claimed it as Delaware.

It doesn't matter where you "claimed" the income. What matters is where you actually worked. If you did not live in NJ, and you did not work in NJ at all, why did you get a NJ W-2, and why are you filing a NJ nonresident tax return? Did you work part of the time in NJ and part of the time in DE? What state did you live in in 2022?


Your income is subject to tax by the state where you earned it. All of your income is subject to tax by the state that you lived in, but on your tax return for the state that you lived in you should get a credit for part or all of the tax that you paid to the other state that you worked in.
