Tax Year Prior to 2020: STATE TAXES

Even though you can only designate two states of residence in the Personal Info or My Info section of TurboTax, you can file state tax returns with TurboTax in more than two states.  You may want to check the residency requirements for each state that you lived in, as if the time in the state was short, it could be deemed a temporary stay and you would then file a return as a non-resident (if you earned income in that state while staying there.)  Here is a link to state tax websites to find out residency requirements (for filing a part-year resident versus non-resident return):  How do I contact my state Department of Revenue?
