Help with W-2 (live in NJ/work in NY)

I live only in NJ and work only in NY. Just got my W2 for 2019, it has three (they don't make it easy) different copies:

 

#1 Federal Filing Copy (Copy B), to be filed with employee's Federal Income Tax Return

State: Blank, Employer's State ID: "Total State", State Wages: 0, State Income Tax: xxx

 

#2 NJ State Reference Copy (Copy 2), to be filed with employee's State Income Tax Return

State: NJ; Employer's State ID: xxx-xxx-xxx/000, State Wages: xxx, State Income Tax: 0

 

#3 NY State Filing Copy (Cope 2), to be filed with employee's State Income Tax Return

State: NY; Employer's State ID no: xxx-xxx-xxx, State Wages: xxx, State Income Tax: xxx

 

How do I fill this information out? What do I put for Boxes 15-17 in my W2? 

Do I only include form #1 on the Federal Income Tax and then for the other two copies for State (NJ + NY Non-Resident) ?

 

Please advice, thanks!
