New York. What you should be seeing is that the amount in Box 17 is on the New York line. On the W2 screen in TurboTax, you will first enter the NY information in boxes 15-17 (not 18-20, although this should be blank), click on the box Add Another State, and then repeat the procedure with the information from the New Jersey line (NJ). Proceed with preparing the Federal Return until you complete that portion.
For the state returns, prepare the New York return first. New York is your nonresident state, and New Jersey will allow you to claim a credit for tax you pay to New York on the income you earn there. Prepare the New York return first so that the credit carries over to the New Jersey return correctly.
Then, when preparing the New Jersey return, the following procedure will eliminate income that may have been doubled-up because of programming. On the NJ return, you will see a screen titled About
Your W-2 State Wage Information. Because of state programming
requirements, TurboTax includes both income lines as part of the NJ
income. The next screen is titled Let's Confirm Your Taxable
State Wages from (Employer). Click on the NY box so
that those reported wages are not included on New Jersey's return.
