Credit for lcoal taxes paid to another state on NJ-1040

[therlinger]

Taxpayer is full-year NJ resident but had a W-2 for wages earned in PA.  PA income and Philadelphia local taxes were withheld from employer.  I am filing a NJ resident tax return and PA-40 as a non-resident to get a refund of the PA income taxes withheld.  I am trying to get a credit for the local taxes paid to Philadelphia on the NJ return but the form will not populate.  I called Lacerte support and was told the Sch NJ-COJ will not populate as a credit for the local tax withheld is not applicable to compensation.  Is this correct or am I reading the instructions incorrectly because I think the taxpayer is allowed the credit.  Is there any form (NJ or PA) that should be filed with Philadelphia?  Thanks!

Assuming the correct Philly tax was withheld, nothing needs to be filed with Philadelphia.
