Got it. The only amount needed in a NJ state line on your W2 in box 16 is the amount that shows the income that NJ taxes and NY does not (not duplicated). In the federal "Wages & Income" section edit the employer W2 with two state lines and only enter the non-duplicated income amount in the NJ state box 16.
The allocation amount to NJ in the NJ state interview should be the complete wage amount taxable by NJ during your residence in NJ.
I'm a bit confused here. Are you suggesting to edit my W2? I imported it from ADP. The amount in box 16 for NJ is the amount that is being double-taxed as I lived in NJ while working in NY. In the hypothetical example, it is $20,000 because I spent 2/12 months in NJ with total wage of $120,000. I did input $20,000 in the NJ state interview, but it's a showing a total income of $140,000 instead of $120,000.
