Your income will be allocated between the two states based on the time that you were a resident of each state. Your bonus shouldn't be taxed in CA since you were a WA resident when you received it. Review How do I allocate (split) income for a part-year state return? for further explanation.
Follow the steps below to file part-year resident state tax returns for each state.
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 Turbo Tax and select My Info
- A Personal profile summary screen will pop up
- Select Edit by your address
- 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, you will only see a part-year tax return for CA since WA doesn't have state income tax.
