Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The first W-2 should be for her home state and the amount should equal box 1.

  • 100% of income is taxed in the home state
  • The second W-2 should be included on the posting of the first W-2.
  • This should be for the non-resident state.
  • The amount in box 16 will be less than box 1.
