Live in nj but work in NY (30%) and NJ (30%). NY state review allows me to capture 30% however NJ state review does not allow to show 70% and income shows 100%

I live in NJ but work for the same employer in NY and NJ. I have received two W2. One for NY and one for NJ. my full income is shown on both the states (NJ more and NY less). While filing my state taxes - NY review allows percentage income allocation however NJ state review does not show that and shows 100% income on Income and Deductions Summary page. Should my income/summary page be showing only 70% of my total income reported on W2?

OK ... let's educate you on this crazy situation ....on the NY non resident  return (which you should have completed first)  ... you will only be taxed on the NY income HOWEVER NY uses your total income to compute the annual tax then that is prorated for the NY portion ... this way NY can tax you at a higher rate.

THEN on the NJ return they will also compute your tax on ALL your income from ALL sources since you are a resident HOWEVER  you get a credit on the NJ return for the taxes you already paid to NY.   Review both returns carefully to see how this happens. 

You can peek at only  the Federal form 1040 and the summary of the state info by going here:

1) lower- Left side of the screen...click to the left side of the "Tax Tools" text selection.
2)  then select "Tools"
3) then select "View Tax Summary" from the pop-up
4) then back to the left-side and "Preview 1040"

Then hit the "Back" on the left side to get back to your tax entries.

To view your entire return using the online editions (including the state) before you file, you will need to pay for your online account.

To pay the TurboTax online account fees by credit card, without completing the 2018 return at this time, click on Tax Tools >>> Tools  and then Print Center.  Then click on Print, save or preview this year's return.  On the next page, to pay by credit card, click Continue.  On the next screen it will ask if you want Audit Defense, if you do not want this option just click on the Continue button.  The next screen will ask for all your credit card information so you can pay for the account.
