As non-resident of NJ, should I mention all my earnings on NJ tax return?
I am confused. If anyone's from New Jersey and knows this please answer. On the NJ-1040NR form, the income needs to be stated at line 14 in two columns, one earned in state and one from everywhere. The language in the instruction form is contradictory.
At one place it says:
"Enter on Lines 14 through 26 the amount of income received while a
nonresident of New Jersey during the taxable year for each of the
various categories of income."
I take this to mean that I should only specify what I earned everywhere during the duration I stayed in NJ as a non-resident. At another place, this qualification seems to be absent. So should I mention all my earnings for the whole year from everywhere?

I think I have an answer. After double checking with a few people, it appears that the correct answer is to input all my income, from all sources during the tax year of 2014. The language means to say that, "for the taxable year, for which I am to be considered a nonresident of NJ, input the amount of income (gross) earned from all sources, inside and outside NJ."
I think it is a poor choice of the word "while".
