My NJ SDI tax saids $109.98 in box 14. But Turbotax tells me NJ SDI can't be greater than $67. What can I do?

That's lazy W2 prep on your employer's part, but an easy fix on your part. Your employer has likely lumped 2 of the 3 taxes below together on your W2. They are separate taxes with separate maximums, so you need to self-correct when you enter the W2.

The maximum of these 3 taxes from one employer is this:

UI- $139

FLI- $26

DI-$65

**In box 14, break out the taxes to show no more than the maximums above for each category.**

Do you have FLI listed somewhere on your W2- maybe Box 18?

Chances are, these taxes aren't affecting your tax return anyway.

No it looks like they just took too much out for SDI. In box 14 NJ-FLI $26.08 NJ-SUI $138.55 NJ-SDI $74.88. I will self correct. Thanks.

That's pretty unusual to have one employer over withdraw, but you cannot get that back on your tax return. NJ only refunds excess through 2 or more employers. So, yes, self-correct just to get your return through. Ask your employer if you wish to pursue a refund.
