New Jersey Taxes: How to remove duplicate wages?

[steofn3]

I lived and worked in Indiana until 8/8/2022. Then I moved to New Jersey to work in New York.

I filed for New York Nonresident taxes. When filing for NJ taxes (part-time resident), it asks to remove duplicate. Which one should I remove (click on image to see the complete image)? The salary data is just an example.

You might want to contact Support for this issue.

How do I contact TurboTax? (intuit.com)

@tagteam  could you please explain why do I need to talk to customer support regarding this? I think the duplicate can be identified from the information I provided. I am just not sure which duplicate I need to remove. 

[tagteam]

It was just a suggestion. If you aren't sure which duplicate to remove, others on this board may not be able to make that determination either as no one here can actually see your return.

as a part year NJ resident, do not report ( i.e. subtract) wages earned while an Indiana resident.

@fanfare Thank you! Do you mean I should be removing NY duplicate? 

In other words, only NY should have "Remove these wages" checkbox checked?

NJ will give you a credit for taxes paid to NY.

If you are Living Only in NJ, why do you show NJ wages?

I am not sure if I got your question. I have wages from Indiana which does not overlap with any other state. Then I moved to NJ to work in NY. I filed taxes for NY. When I am doing taxes for NJ, it is asking "which of these is a duplicate?". 

What should I select as a duplicate? 

[steofn3]

I moved to NJ in August 2022 to work in NY. I lived in Indiana before that. I know that NY requires all income to be reported in W-2. 

My Situation (example): 

• IN Income until 8/8/2022 = 55,000
• <move to NJ on 8/9/2022>
• NJ Income = 45,000
• NY State Income as shown on W-2 = 100,000 (because it requires all income to be reported)
• Amount taxed by NY State = 90,000 (as shown after I did my NY taxes)
• Allocated NY State tax = 5000 x (income factor) = 2300

When filing for NJ taxes, it asks "Double-taxed income while a resident of New Jersey" and "Taxes paid to New York". 

Question: how to determine double-taxed income while a NJ resident? The amount taxed by NY (90,000) also contains Indiana portion. What needs to be done here? 

[fanfare]

Frankly, I don't understand what TurboTax is trying to accomplish in this dialog.

Does your W-2 have more than three lines of state wages?

If NO, that tells me there are no duplicates.

Someone else will have to explain what's going on here.

Follow the instructions in this previous TT answer and you should be OK:

@steofn3 
Refer to NJ booklet
New Jersey Resident Return NJ-1040
for what income to report to New Jersey.

Refer to NY booklet
Instructions for Form IT-203
for what income to report to New York.
