Live in NJ, work in NYC - remove duplicate wages?

Hi, I'm not sure what to select on the Remove Duplicate Wages screen, for my NJ State tax return. I live in NJ and work in NYC - and must therefore file a return for both states. On the page telling me to remove the duplicate wages, do I remove the NJ line or the NY line? Again, this is for the NJ State tax return. Thank you!

If you are working on your NJ resident state tax return and your wages are from NY, remove the NJ wages line. This way the system knows that your NY wages are being taxed in NJ and you will be able to take your NY nonresident taxes as a state income tax credit on your NJ resident state tax return.

Thank you. Yes I've done this. But still saying that I will owe NY around $2k. I had the exact same scenario with my 2015 return where I lived in NJ, worked in NJ or the first half of the year, and then for the second half of the year I worked in NYC. I only received refunds on that return. This is the same scenario.
