To fix your error, please follow the instructions below:

  2. Click on State on the left-hand side.
  3. Click Edit next to New York.
  4. On the page, You Just Finish Your New York Return, click Start or Update next to Credits and Other Taxes.
  5. On the page, Take a look at New York credits and taxes, click Start or Update next to Taxes Paid to Another State.
  6. Click Edit next to NJ.
  7. On the screen Enter New Jersey Information, erase $437 and enter total tax of $385.

If you decrease the amount of taxes paid to another state, your total credit will go down. This increases your New York taxes.
