Yes, you will want to remove the NY box 16 amount in your NJ state interview. In the NJ step-by-step interview you will arrive at a page asking you to confirm the NJ taxable wages for the employer that has two states lines. Both box 16 amounts will be listed and you should check the box to remove the NY box 16 amount.
That's the problem though. During the NJ state interview, I don't get a page asking me to confirm my NJ taxable wages or a checkbox to remove the duplicate state wage. Instead, I get a page that just lists my "total income on W-2" which is the sum of NY and NJ state wages and then it asks me "how much of the $xxx,xxx did you earn while living or working in New Jersey?" So in my hypothetical example, it would say "how much of the $140,000 did you earn while living or working in New Jersey", but my federal and NY wage would actually be $120,000 and my NJ wage would be $20,000.

I'm referring to NJ state for credits for taxes paid to another state. Did you mean when I'm filling it out for NJ that I should put the value of NY box 16 which is A?
If it helps to get a better view of my taxes, my token is 1230986.
