State tax filing

I also live in NJ and work in philadelphia and pay the city wage tax.  My question is WHAT values do you put in for Double Taxed income and local tax paid to get the credit?

My W2 has blank values for boxes 18,19 and 20.  
I paid an extra 25 per paycheck to NJ state and over 2,500 to city wage tax in philadelphia.
Can i just enter the tax paid to philly and take the diffrence or credit for the taxes I paid to the State Of NJ.

Example.  I paid 686 taxes to NJ state and paid 2200 to philly wage. NJ will give me a credit for the difference which is around 1600. This tax me from owing NJ 500 to getting a 500 refund.

Please help!
