Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You are a resident of Indiana and a nonresident of Illinois.  On the Indiana income tax return, you are eligible for a credit for taxes paid to another state.  

 

The credit is calculated on Group A Worksheet on page 37 of the Indiana IT-40 Booklet.  The Indiana IT-40 Booklet may be found at this website.

 

The lesser of the amounts on A, B or C is your allowable credit for taxes paid to other states.  Since you are allowed a credit of $1,795.  I presume that option A is $3,000 and option C is $1,875.  The credit figure was computed from option B which states:

 

   Multiply the amount of income from the other state (that is subject to Indiana tax) by 3% (.03)

 

We are not able to see the dollar amounts on the two tax returns.  Please provide the proper income, deductions and withholding numbers that you calculate.
