IT-112-R (NJ): Tax Amount - TP should not be greater than the tax imposed by other stat

Before we run your token number please make sure that you have tried all of the steps to clear your cache that @DianeW777 has detailed on the other thread that you posted on.  Then check your non-resident return to see if the amount shown there - $235 - is the correct amount that you paid.  Then you may need to reduce it to the actual amount due from your resident state.  You're not allowed to create a negative.
