I have all my income in a non resident state. When I add the state to my federal information, my non-resident state return links I earned double income. How do I fix it?

It would be helpful to tell us which states, but usually if you do the nonresident state return FIRST, then the resident state next, the return for the resident state will credit you for any non-resident state tax you paid on the income claimed on both returns so you are not double-taxed.

Thank you for responding.

NC as Non-resident, Va state of residence. Sorry I didn't think it mattered as it seems to be a hick-up in the Turbo Tax software. In my federal section, I entered the w-2 with both states listed including the tax paid. If I fill out box 16 for NC, and Va, then NC state tax section thinks I made double. I did NC first as state taxed. I will go back and swap them on the w-2 page to see if that makes a difference.
