State tax filing

This is more typical because New Jersey gives you a tax credit for tax paid to New York.

 

In cases where there are two wage amounts, it means NJ is taxing some benefits that are pre-tax to NY. In those cases, you would use the NY Box 16 state wage amount for completing your NY return and the NJ Box 16 amount on the NJ return.

 

In your case, the taxable wage for both states is the same.
