If you live in NJ and work in NY then you must file a tax return in both states.  NY can tax you as a non-resident on income you earn from work done in NY.  Your home state of NJ can tax ALL your income, including that from NY.

You will be able to claim a credit on your NJ return for the taxes paid to NY, so in effect you won't be double-taxed.

In TurboTax, complete the non-resident NY return before you do your home state NJ return, so that the program can calculate and apply the credit.
