You were a resident of two different states during the tax year, Illinois and New York. You made money in both states. You will be filing a part-year return for New York and Illinois.
This information should have been added when you began your income tax return:
- Select My Info.
- Your personal info input screen will show
- You will be asked the state(s) you lived in during 2023. Select your state of residence (N.Y.) from the dropdown menu.
- You'll also be asked if you lived in another state in 2023. Answer Yes and a new section will appear asking for your previous state of residence (IL).
- Fill out the date of when you moved to your current state.
- Select Continue.
After you finish entering your federal return info, you'll automatically be moved to the State Taxes section in TurboTax.
You should see part-year states listed (New York and Illinois). You should prepare the return for your former state first (IL), followed by the return for the state you currently live in (NY).
If you also see a nonresident state return in the State Taxes section, complete that return before you work on your part-year return(s) to ensure your tax credits are calculated correctly.
Follow the prompts in TurboTax and answer all of the questions through to the end of your states section to properly calculate your income for your part-year state income tax returns.
