Filing in multiple states - Confirm Your Taxable State Wages Boxes Confusion

Hello,

 

My company has me based in NJ, I lived in New York and have never worked or lived in NJ. I have done some work with a client in Maryland. Thus, I have to file in 3 states. I am a filing as a New York city resident as Maryland and New jersey non resident. 

 

When I get to the screen

 

"Let's Confirm Your Taxable State Wages from..."

Below we have listed the states with wage income report on your W-2 

Check "Remove These Wages" for each state wage line that is a duplicate. Typically, New Jersey wages should be higher than federal wages because New Jersey does not allow the same federal deductions. Your federal wages on this W-2 are $112,904"

 

State IDState Wage Amount (Box 16)Remove these wages
NY112,904 
NJ73,861 
MD17,907  

 

 

What box am I suppose to select here?? 

 

In theory, I need a refund from NJ, and likely to pay MD and for sure need to pay NY.

 

I have no other tax complexities - no dependents, no mortgage, nothing.

 

I know there is an issue because turbotax is telling me i need to file NJ state taxes by mail so I know something is wrong. I filed last year had a similar issue and managed to figure it out and did not have to file by mail and my situation has not changed.

 

HELP!
