NY and NJ State Tax Question

I lived in NJ for the full year 2025. 

  • I worked onsite for my company located in NJ for 4 months of the year
  • My company relocated to NY for the final 8 months of the year.  I worked onsite in NY for 8 months. 
  • My W-2 box 16 has 2 amounts - one for NJ (10K) and one for NY (60K).  Note box 1 matches the NY amount of $60K
  • I entered the full amount in my NY return (60K) then allocated the 8/12  based on the percentage allocation. 
  • Then on my NJ return I just reported the NJ amount from Box 16 by removing the NY allocation line.
  • Is this correct?
