Not necessarily. As a part year resident, you should be showing the NJ-1040NR. Line 15 shows your Total wages and NJ =NY wages, columns A and B, respectively.
NJ typically taxes more income. NJ taxes items like retirement that Federal and other states do not tax.
Your line 29 column A for Federal should be the total of TX and NY wages. Column B should be the NY with adjustments for NJ.
Without more information, I don't know if there is a reason for the $2k difference. Do you have items in box 12? Did you receive sick pay?
You may want to contact a specialist that can work through that section of the return with you.
