State tax filing

In your situation, do not click "Remove these wages". If that box is checked, TurboTax will remove that W-2 from your NJ-1040. Since you live and work in New Jersey, this income is taxable to the state of New Jersey. 

 

The W-2 not listed on the screen has Box 1 wages that match Box 16. The second W-2 (that does appear on the screen Let's Confirm Your Taxable Wages) is a W-2 has a discrepancy between Box 1 and Box 16 due to the CAFE 125 and the 414(h) in Box 14. Cafe 125 and 414(h) amounts are taxable in the State of New Jersey, which is why Box 16 is higher than Box 1. For more information, please see Wages

@Kgirl58 @gt2887 You can also send me your token if you'd like. I will suspect that if you live and work in NJ, you are getting the screen to remove wages because Box 1 and Box 16 do not match on whatever W-2 you are seeing on the screen. Because these amounts are taxable to NJ, please do not remove the wages. My explanation can be found above. If you have any questions, let me know.
