W-2 income for a statutory employee reported on Schedule C is treated as wages for New Jersey purposes. If the client qualifies under New Jersey law as a self-employed individual or an independent contractor, reduce the New Jersey wages shown in Screen NJW2 by the wages included in the Gross income field in this input screen by using codes 22 and 23 in the federal Screen W2 Box 14. Enter X in this field to include the information in the Net profits from business field on Form NJ-1040, Page 2 and Form NJ-1040NR, Page 2.
