I lived and worked in NJ only. But my w2 contains NJ & NY. And it seems I was double taxed. Do I need to purchase New York state return (I have a deluxe version and NJ is included)?

Hello,

I lived and worked in NJ only.

But for some my employer gave me two w2 forms, one with NJ wages & paid taxes and one with NY wages and taxes. Seems I was double taxed.

When I was working on my NJ taxes in Turbotax I selected that I was double taxed in New York and entered the NY wages and taxes from my NY w2 part, and Turbotax shows I'll get credit from New Jersey.

Turbotax did not ask or force me to buy and fill New York.

My question is: Do I need to buy NY state in Turbotax if I didn't really live or work there and it seems it's just a mistake by my employer?
