I switched employers, worked in MI for <60 days, & stayed at an airbnb but was fired. Before and after that I lived at my home I own in AR. Was I ever a MI resident?

The company downsized so quickly that I didn't have enough time to buy a new house or sell my old one. My wife continued living in the AR home the entire time and I gave my employer an MI PO Box to use temporarily. But if I never established residency, was I just an AR resident who did work in MI for <60 days in 2023?

In the Personal Info section of TT, enter your State of Residence as AR, and indicate that you had other state income from MI. This will prompt the program to generate a non-resident MI return and a resident AR return.

Then complete the non-resident MI tax return first, before you do your home state return.

AR can tax all your income, including your earnings from MI. MI can tax the income you earned in MI. AR will give you a credit for the taxes you pay to MI, so you won't be double-taxed.

It appears that you were an MI nonresident with MI source income.
