Prepare the NON-resident state return first, then the return for the state you live in.

@xmasbaby0      Are you sure?

 

With OR & CA doing a reverse credit for taxes paid in another state...it seems like the resident state should be prepared first.

 

i.e. for an OR resident working in CA, the credit for taxes paid in another state goes on the CA nonresident tax return....at least it has in prior years.  This is completely opposite from what most states do, but it's how CA handles it vs a couple other states.

@SteamTrain Ugh-----in most cases the "rule" is to do the non-resident state first......so CA has to be different?   So.....maybe forget anything I said, @baneal 

 

Thoughts --   @TomD8     ?????

Several SU's supposedly use CA tax forms:

 

@Bsch4477   @macuser_22   & a couple more....I think also @VolvoGirl 

 

Of course, right now it's only 7AM in CA...so they're not sitting at computers right now...unless Really committed (or should be committed?   😉

 

And it's not all states..it's; between CA and OR, AZ, (IN I think)  would have to look up again
