I am an NJ resident that earned income in PA in 2019. My employer withheld taxes in PA so I am filling to reclaim this money.
My questions is on the compensation summary screen for PA, it shows that I had a W2 for NJ and a W2 for PA for an identical amount.
I have the options of either deleting these W2s or marking them as exempt from PA taxes. I think I need to mark the NJ one as exempt and delete the PA one but I am not certain. Any guidance would be appreciated.

It depends.
You may need to review your input in the federal section of the program as follows to ensure the W-2 wages are only reported once.
To enter your W-2 information, go to the Federal section of the program.
Make sure you enter the correct state and wages in boxes 15-17 of your input on the W-2 section. This would be the only area where your wages should be entered.
Depending upon your W-2 form, you can simply select the option to Add another row if you have separate lines for New Jersey and Pennsylvania as shown in the sample below.
