I live in NJ and got a 1099-MISC from a PA business. How do I report this information properly on the PA state return items: Federal amount, PA amount, PA withholding?

I live and work in NJ where I get my W-2 from my main job. During the summer I work in PA and I got a 1099-MISC from the PA business. I am filing my PA state return and now I am unsure how to file my W-2 (NJ live and work) under compensation summary. Also, I'm trying to report the 1099 (work in PA live in NJ) nonemployee compensation and I am unsure of the amounts to place in line items: Federal amount, PA amount, and PA withholding. On my 1099-MISC form there is only one amount on line 7 (nonemployee compensation).

On your 1099-MISC income, the amount in Box 7 - Non Employee Compensation, is the Federal, and State (PA) amount.  There were no Pennsylvania state withholdings for that income.

Your New Jersey W-2 is excluded from Pennsylvania taxes so that income and taxes would not be part of the Pennsylvania reporting.

If your question was something else that I did not understand, please clarify.

@TurboTaxLisaBr Just to clarify, for my W-2 information leave it as it currently is in the first two photos? (Which means do not edit it and make the income taxable for PA?) I was getting confused because of the clause where it mentions if I am a NJ resident in the first photo that I need to change my wages to zero to claim a refund - so that is basically stating to not report it as income, right?

Correct.  Sometimes the wording can get confusing, especially this time of night.  Never edit your W-2's or 1099-MISC info.  That's what the IRS and State see and they expect the amounts and information to be the same.
