There is a similar thread here where I asked this same questions, but I thought post may get faster response versus a reply on an old thread. Forgive me please for double posting.

I live in NY state and work in NJ. Sometimes I work from home and sometimes from the office. The company provided me with two W2 forms. One form lists box 15 as NJ and box 16 has wages attributed to NJ (it's a portion of total income). State income tax paid to NJ is also provided. Another form lists box 15 as NY and box 16 has all wages attributed to NY (this is how NY does it). State income tax paid to NY is also provided.

I entered NJ and NY information (numbers from W2 are automatically transferred) NJ checks out fine and NY final check gives me this error. I don't understand what is wrong as according to W2 I paid more taxes than it was calculated by TurboTax for NJ. All numbers on the form IT-112-R seem correct. Please help. My code is 1127166

Here’s how to change the other state tax credit

In the New York section, go to the screen “Take a look at New York credits and taxes”
Select Taxes Paid to Another State under Credit for Taxes Paid
On “Other State Tax Credit Summary,” Edit NJ
Verify the amounts on “Income Taxed By New Jersey.” These should be correct. If not, enter the correct number in Amount if Different. You may have multiple screens, depending on your tax return.
On “Tax Computed on Your New Jersey Return, enter your NJ tax liability in Amount if Different. TurboTax should display the correct amount to enter on that screen.
If you don't see the amount, tap Tax Tools in the left column
Then Tools
Select View Tax Summary in "Tools Center"
Select NJ Tax Summary in the left column and find your Total Tax. If you have a shared responsibility payment, subtract that amount
Tap Back in the left column to return to the interview mode

Thank you for your answer.

I followed your steps exactly. However, the numbers all check out

Income Taxed by NJ matches W2

Income Tax paid by me also matches W2

Tax Computed on Your New Jersey Return matches what TurboTax calculated in Tax Summary for NJ (Total Tax)

when I go for Review smart check still gives me the same error: IT-112-R (NJ): Tax Amount - TP should not be greater than the tax imposed by the other state.

Your advise how to address this is highly appreciated. I made another submission: 1130970

Thank you
