NJ-COJ: Can I Select Column B to get Bigger Tax Credit from another Jurisdiction (New York)?

[ShahzadMalik]

I am eligible for NJ property tax deduction. When I select column A and enter the 2024 property tax, my taxable income gets reduced. But at the same time, the credit from NY state gets much lower. Whereas when I select Column B, I see a bigger credit from NY.

Although I am eligible for NJ property tax deduction, am I allowed not to avail this deduction and select Column B instead?

Thanks in advance.
