Yes, when preparing returns in multiple states, it's best to do your nonresident (New York) and/or part-year resident state returns first, and your resident (New Jersey) state last. So, that the credit for the nonresident state taxes paid is accurately calculated on your resident state tax return

Please see FAQ, and complete the steps to enter your nonresident state: https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3302052
