NJ Nonresident Tax Return

[btaxq]

I am a Florida resident who started working remotely for a NJ-based company starting mid-2022. Due to a payroll set up issue, my company has been withholding NJ state tax from me for 6 months out of the year. What are the appropriate next steps myself or my company need to take for the incorrect tax withholdings to be recovered? What specific tax forms do I need to complete through TurboTax to recover this amount? Do I need to provide a justification for the errors and is there a chance it will not be accepted?

I also noticed my company was withholding NJ tax from October-December 2020. Can anything be done about these past errors?
