It is normal that for NJ, box 16 is a larger amount than box 1, because NJ does not allow a number of excluded amounts from the federal return (examples are HSA contributions, most retirement plan contributions except for 401(k), and other section 125/cafeteria exclusions).
You say that the NJ return is not accepting the $120k income amount. Is there an error message? How do you know it is not "accepting" that amount?
