State tax filing
As @rjs says, it depends on more information.
NJ does not tax telecommuters. If you never physically worked in NJ, you are not subject to NJ tax. You do not, normally, even need to file am NJ return. But, if NJ tax was withheld, you will need to file a non-resident return to get a refund. Ask your employer to stop withholding NJ tax (they may be unwilling to do do that, because they think they are required to).
To get a refund, you have to allocate your income as NJ source or not, in the TurboTax interview. Allocate your W-2 income as not NJ. If you did work a few days in NJ, you will have to prorate the W-2 income between NJ and not NJ.
