I live in NJ and work in NY. MY W-2 has an amount in Box 17, which state do I apply that amount to, NY or NJ?

I am trying to complete my taxes and needed guidance. I live in NJ and work in NY. I received my W2 and there are amounts in Box 15 & 16 one is for NY and the other for NJ. My W2 shows an amount of Box 17, which state do I apply this amount to, NY or NJ? Or is the amount applied to both states?
