Hello, I live in NY but my worksite was located in NJ. In this section of the NJ state return, this comes up: Confirm Your Taxable State Wages. It lists both states and the amounts that is listed in box 16 of my W2. Mine shows one amount for NJ and one amount for NY. There is a box to remove one of the states or both. How should I proceed? Should I remove one of them? If I leave it alone, it is showing that I owe for NJ and I don't think that can be right. I am not resident there. That is the only thing holding me up from filing my return. Below is a screenshot.

On your NJ return, please remove the NY wages. There are items in the NJ wages that are only taxable to your resident state; only NJ wages are taxable by NJ.
