Fidelity issued a W-2 to my previous address in NJ. I resided in CT all year. No taxes were withheld. Because I didn't live in NJ at any time during 2024, I will not be filing a NJ state return. How should I handle this?
Since I'm e-filing, I could overwrite the incorrect address; in that case, the address would be correct but it wouldn't match the W-2. Alternatively, I could leave the incorrect address; but if I do so, even if the IRS doesn't flag my return because of the difference between my W-2 address and my filing address, won't the State of NJ be looking for taxes?
(The entire year's payment was < $2,000, so my primary concern isn't the amount of taxes due--it's the risk of being audited by NJ for non-payment of taxes or by the IRS for an incorrect W-2.)
Thank you!

The address on the W-2 is of no matter.
The program doesn't even ask for it.
New Jersey does not get a copy just because your address is listed as a New Jersey address.
Thank you very much.
And the fact that the boxes 15, 16, and 17 indicate state wages for NJ with a State EIN doesn't matter? (Again, no taxes were withheld from this income by any jurisdiction.)
