OTHER WAGE ADJUSTMENTS- W-2

[rnovak43]

For this section, would 403 b contributions be included?

When I placed them in the section, it changed line 15 on the NJ state and no longer matches the amount on W-2 box 16.

Should 403b be omitted?

Thank you.

Your 403(b) contributions should be included in your New Jersey income as a Wage Adjustment.  Unlike federal law, New Jersey does not allow exclusions for contributions to deferred compensation plans other than 401(k) plans.  If not included, contributions to 403(b) plans must be added back to NJ taxable wages.  Make sure the amount in Box 16 does not already reflect the adjustment.
