I used to live in NJ but I have lived in NY for the entirety of 2020. My employer withheld 310.64 for NJ SUI/SDI for 2020. How can I get this amount back?

Contact your employer about getting a refund. New Jersey will over give a refund for excess excess UI/WF/SWF, Disability Insurance, and/or Family Leave Insurance Contributions as a result of working for more than one employer.

NJ says, "If the amount deducted by any one employer exceeds the maximum
for either UI/WF/SWF, disability insurance, or family leave insurance,
enter the maximum in the appropriate column(s) and contact that
employer for a refund of the balance of the deduction."

My company does not issue W2c for payment. They told me to get a refund by filing a nonresident tax for New Jersey. However, according to you, I am not allowed to do this?

Which state did you work in?

If you lived and worked in New York all year, the NJ SUI and SDI is a mistake. Ask your employer to refund the money to you and give you a corrected W-2.

If you worked in New Jersey you have to pay the SUI and SDI taxes, even though you live in New York. Your employer was correct to withhold the taxes, and you don't get it back.

It doesn't matter where you lived. You still have not told us which state you WORKED in. If you worked in New Jersey you have to pay the SUI and SDI taxes. You don't get a refund.

$310.64 for combined SUI and SDI does not appear to be over the maximum amount, so you have no excess to be refunded.

Your W-2 is correct. There is nothing wrong. There is nothing to correct.

You have to file a New Jersey nonresident tax return because you worked in New Jersey. But you do not get a refund of the SUI/SDI tax. You do not get it back.
