I have 2 W-2 forms (NY &NJ) What amount I need to write for line 16 for each state tax return. I worked in NY but lived in NJ for entire year in 2018.

[xoxoam0325]

If i sum the line 16 for NJ and NY, it is going to be double income, which is not accurate. My employer only witheld NY income tax and I want to know how to enter/allocate amount for line 16 for each state.

Since you are a New Jersey Resident, you report all your income to New Jersey.  You will get credit for the tax you paid to New York on your income. 

You also file a Non-Resident Return to New York, because you earned income there.  Prepare this return first in TurboTax, before your New Jersey Resident return.

Even though you are reporting the income in both states, you will not be double-taxed, since you already paid tax to New York.

Here's more info on filing a Non-Resident return:
