Remote work - Taxed in Missouri, Remote worked in KS

No, you wouldn't enter the Missouri (MO) taxes paid in the Kansas (KS) tax return because that information should have been entered in the MO tax return first which would have generated a MO tax refund.  You are correct, if you enter it there, you would also get a credit for paying taxes in MO which would be double-dipping.  Review your entries because it appears that you may not have entered the correct information in your MO tax return.

The correct way to report your taxes paid to Missouri is to enter exactly what’s on your W-2 in TurboTax. Don't make any modifications, TurboTax will perform the calculations for you. Also, you should prepare the non-resident tax return for the state that you work in (Missouri) first and then the return for the state you live in (Kanas). You may have to delete both states and start over to ensure that you are preparing correct state returns.
