I work for the same company, but switched offices. I worked almost exactly half a year in NJ and half the year in NY. I received several W2s but I'm confused.

I understand box 16 on the NY return will be the same as the federal income, so that part makes sense to me.

However I have TWO other NJ ones I'm confused about. First off, shouldn't I only receive one for NJ? One amount is about 4000 dollars less, and there is a state income tax in box 17. On the higher amount it is blank.

I have no idea what to report. Do I add these together? TurboTax isn't really helping me out here. I'm assuming I list both of them and then remove the NY one.

When I do that, I end up owing NY money, but I feel like that has to be wrong. I have 0 exemptions and I got taxed almost double what NJ taxed me. Please let me know if I could be clearer or anything. Thanks for any help!
