Deductions & credits

This is something to bring up with your payroll department but, reading between the lines, I assume you commute to work in NY, in which case NY treats you have having NY income.  See

for example, though you would file a NY part-year resident return an not a nonresident return.  NJ goes into some detail about their process at

In this assumed case, while you would be forking over a lot of tax to NY, you would receive a tax credit against your NJ income tax for the NY tax that would be attributed to the period you resided in NJ.
