State tax filing

Hi Daniel, Yes, the NJ is also from the same company.  My W2 has 3 states listed on it, IL, NJ, and NY.  The IL and the NJ appear to be a subset of the total earned, and the NY amount is the total. IL: 29,409.46, NJ: 33,777.21, NY 62,600.91 (which is the total in box 1) .  What is kind of strange is adding IL + NJ = 63,186.67, which is more than the total I made in the year.  I am assuming this means there is an overlapping payment period where they took tax for both states.   I am thinking that this number discrepancy might be what is causing that error message for e-filing to occur.  Thank you for all your help!
