State tax filing

Hi @ErnieS0, a couple of questions. 

1. Similar to @johnh24, my wife and I live in New Jersey and work in New York. I entered my wife's NY PFL as other income on our federal return, and it carried over to my NJ return, but I could not delete it from New Jersey's Other Non-Wage Income. Per your suggestion I added a new line with "Non-taxable NY Paid Family Leave" as the description and the same amount as a negative. This, however, caused my NJ return to be rejected when I e-filed it because "the amount cannot be negative". See the screenshot attached below.

Is there another way to remove NY PFL from New Jersey state taxable income?

2. Separately, per your previous message "PFL is taxable to NY but not to NJ. As a result, you will be taxed on PFL on your nonresident NY income tax return. However, the amount should not show up on your NJ resident tax return. And you would not be able to claim a credit for NY tax paid on PFL."

However, the PFL amount is used on NY form IT-203 for the calculation of NY taxable income on line 16 and NY tax, which in turn are used on form NJ-COJ to calculate the Maximum allowable credit from other jurisdictions. How can I ensure I am not claiming credit for NY tax paid on PFL?

To get the correct "Income properly taxed by both New Jersey and other jurisdiction.", should I go to "Summary of Taxes Paid to Other States", edit the line for Double-taxed income, subtract the PFL amount (say $5) from the New York Amount (say $15), and then input the result (say $10) in the Amount if Different field?

Thanks!
