I used turbo tax to file my federal tax in NJ. But after finishing federal tax, it automatically asks me to file state tax for NY. My w2 form shows that i payed the NJ tax. I worked in NY and my employer was in NJ. How come the turbo tax shows me to file state tax in NY? Please advise

If your W-2 have NY in box 15, that may be why TurboTax thinks you have to pay NY tax. The NY in box 15 means that the state wages in box 16 are NY income. If you did not work in NY at all, but your W-2 shows NY income, you have to ask your employer to correct the W-2.
