Yes, TurboTax will walk you through filing state tax returns for each state. You will have to file part-year resident state tax returns for both New York and New Jersey. Follow the steps below to file part-year resident state tax returns for each state. Enter both W-2s exactly as they are.
If you've already entered your personal information, review your entries to help ensure that TurboTax will help you create the correct part-year tax returns.
- Open TurboTax and select My Info
- A Personal info 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 and choose that you lived in another state. A new section will appear asking for your previous state of residence. Select the other state that you lived in.
- Scroll down to Other State Income and select Edit
- Check your answer for Did you make money in any other states? Answer the questions and select Continue.
After you complete your federal tax return and you move to the State Taxes sections, both of your part-year state returns will be listed. Prepare the state that you moved from first (New York) then the state that you live in (New Jersey).
