When you have multiple state returns, be sure to enter the earlier part-year resident or nonresident state return first, then enter the state where you resided at the end of the year, in order to get the correct results. The state where you are currently a resident may be able to give you a credit for taxes you paid to other states.

 

Each state may have different ways of allocating income between the states, such as by percentage of total income, or by percentage of time the taxpayer was a resident in the state. If you prepare the Federal return first and the state returns in the correct order, and follow the TurboTax instructions precisely, you should get accurate results.
