Hi! I live in NY and work to NJ company. My W-2 has boxes for both state. I applied 2 states and I owe in both. Maybe I did something wrong? Maybe I complete the NY state first ? What I can do now?

You can delete both states and start over. To delete your state return with TurboTax Online, follow the steps below:

From the menu, scroll down and select State and Continue
Select Delete next to your state return and Yes.

For additional information, refer to the TurboTax article How do I delete my state return in TurboTax Online? If you are using TurboTax Desktop, refer to the TurboTax article How do I clear my state return in the TurboTax for Windows software?

Review you answers in the Personal Info section to ensure that you answered them correctly.

Launch TurboTax and select My Info
A Personal profile summary screen will pop up
Select Edit by your name
Scroll through the screens to ensure that you have the correct answers for your state of residence
Scroll down to Other State Income and select Edit
Check your answer for Did you make money in any other states? Answer Yes, and indicate that you made money in New Jersey.

After you complete your federal tax return and you move to the State Taxes sections, both your nonresident New Jersey and resident New York state returns will be listed. Prepare your nonresident NJ tax return first. You will get a credit on your NY tax return for the taxes that you paid to NJ.

For additional information, refer to the TurboTax Help articles Do I have to file tax returns in more than one state?, Why would I have to file a nonresident state return? and How do I file a nonresident state return?

Here's how to delete a state return in the TurboTax for Windows Desktop software:

With your return open in TurboTax, switch to Forms Mode by selecting the Forms icon
From the File menu at the top of the screen, choose Remove State Return. (This won't delete your state program, just the state tax return)
Select the return you want to delete and then select Remove
Answer Yes to confirm
If you want to start a new state return, select the Step-by-Step icon, and then select the State Taxes tab

For Mac users, when you select File at the top of the screen, the choice that appears is Remove (name of state) data instead of Remove State Return.

If you inadvertently downloaded the wrong state software and are still having issues, please contact us and we'll take care of you.

See this help article for more information.
