I cannot change the income from the full year's income already populated in the box, it is greyed out- this is for the 2nd half of the year when I moved from Illinois to Indiana

Any help?

I'm assuming your are preparing a part-year Indiana return. Part-year residents are only taxed on income earned while living in Indiana (unless you also worked there while living in Illinois).

TurboTax will show you a Federal amount and a box for an Indiana amount. You can't change the federal amount because that comes from your federal return.

Just enter the amounts you earned while living in Indiana in the Indiana box, plus any income earned in IN while you lived in IL, such as income from a rental property located in IN.

Indiana will only tax you on the amounts entered in the IN boxes.

Thanks for the reply but that's the issue, I cannot change the amount for the Indiana portion, it's set to the full federal amount and cannot be changed, the box is grey/ locked

It sounds like on your W2, box 16 for Indiana has the full amount of wages matching box 1 which may be correct in some circumstances. Whatever is in box 16 for IN cannot be changed however adjustments may be made elsewhere if needed.

If you would answer some clarifying questions we will be able to see the situation more clearly and give more specific instruction.

Did you work for the same employer while living in IL and IN?

Where is the employer located?

Did you get two W2's or one W2 with two state lines?

What is being reported to IL on your W2(s)?
