OK ... let's educate you on this crazy situation ....on the NY non resident return (which you should have completed first) ... you will only be taxed on the NY income HOWEVER NY uses your total income to compute the annual tax then that is prorated for the NY portion ... this way NY can tax you at a higher rate.
THEN on the NJ return they will also compute your tax on ALL your income from ALL sources since you are a resident HOWEVER you get a credit on the NJ return for the taxes you already paid to NY. Review both returns carefully to see how this happens.
You can peek at only the Federal form 1040 and the summary of the
state info by going here:
1) lower- Left side of the
screen...click to the left side of the "Tax Tools" text selection.
2) then select "Tools"
3) then select "View Tax Summary"
from the pop-up
4) then back to the left-side and
"Preview 1040"
Then hit the "Back" on the left side
to get back to your tax entries.
To view your entire return using the online
editions (including the state) before you file, you will need to pay for your
online account.
To pay the TurboTax online account fees by credit
card, without completing the 2018 return at this time, click on Tax Tools >>> Tools and
then Print Center. Then click on Print, save or preview this year's
return. On the next page, to pay by credit card, click Continue. On the next
screen it will ask if you want Audit Defense, if you do not want this option
just click on the Continue button. The next screen will ask
for all your credit card information so you can pay for the account.
