Other state tax

Where do I get the numeric value for the "amount of tax imposed by other state" on my w2?

I live in NY but worked in NJ. Is the "other state" in this case referring to NJ?

I would then be looking at the state tax imposed by NJ not NY correct?

I believe this is boxes16-19 on my w2 but I am unsure.

Yes. You should do the NJ return first to create the tax liability Then you would file the NY return.

Follow these steps to locate your tax liability for NJ and enter in NY

Log into your return
Select state taxes
Enter the non-resident NJ for which you need the liability
On the left, go to Tax Tools
Select Tools
Select View Tax Summary
You will see Summary of your NJ Return at the top.
Locate the line that says Taxable Income
Locate the line that says Total Tax
Note those numbers
Return to your resident NY return and enter that number where it asks for the liability for NJ
Some states tax income the federal does not. For example: NJ taxes money you set aside in your retirement plan. Each state has different rules.
