What I mean is this:
You don't owe New York ANYTHING because you do not live there and you do not work there.
Your employer mistakenly withheld and paid tax to New York from your pay, lets say $500.
You are telling New Jersey that you paid New York $500 and New Jersey gives you a credit for that.
But you should not get a credit for paying New York $500 because you should not have paid New York ANYTHING and you would get that $500 refunded if you filed for New York.
So, New Jersey would say, "Hey, why should we give you a credit for $500 when you should get that back and give it to us!!"
