State tax filing
Q. I was expecting to see $3014. What did I do wrong?
A. On the screen where you allocate income, you, most likely, allocated the W-2 income to NJ.
I'm not specifically familiar with NJ software. For some states, TurboTax (TT) uses the W-2 to allocate wage income. If you're not being asked to allocate the W-2 income at the income allocation screens, in the NJ program (or if you're not getting an income allocation screen), you will probably have to use a work around to get TT to prepare the return to get you your refund.
At the w-2 screen, in the federal section, of the program, split the boxes 15-20 W-2 info into 2 lines. On the 1st line leave NJ in box 15 but make box 16 blank or 0; leave the NJ withholding ($3014) in box 17. On the 2nd line put FL in box 15 and the state wages amount in box 16; leave box 17 blank or 0.
