NJ State Tax Return - Duplicate Wage Removal
I'm filing my NJ State Tax return and I'm up to the duplicate wage section which states, "Check 'Remove These Wages' for each state wage line that is a duplicate. Typically, New Jersey wages should be higher than federal wages because New Jersey does not allow the same federal deductions."
I am a non-resident of NJ as I live in NY. I have state returns for NY, NJ & CT. All 3 states (NY, NY & CT) are listed within this portion of the return, and I have an option to remove the wages for any of the states. The State Wage amount (box 16) for NY is equal to my federal wages on my W-2 (which is greater than my state wage amount for NJ).
Do I remove the wages listed for CT & NY and only leave NJ??
I think the "duplicate" wage wording is throwing me off...
