Go back and edit your W-2 (search for w-2 and use the link to go to w-2 summary). Verify you have entered the correct numbers in all of the boxes. Double-check the amounts in Box 1, 16, and 17. That error message is indicating that you have an amount in Box 17 that is greater than Box 16. Make sure you have the correct state codes listed also. If you have entered everything correctly, you will need to get a corrected W-2 from your employer as the withholdings can't be more than your wages for any state.
For future tax returns, if you work in New Jersey and are a resident of Pennsylvania you do not have to pay New Jersey income taxes on your wages. You would submit exemption Form NJ-165 to your employer. @jdellis19
