You may need to delete both state returns. You should have done the WV return first. Let it calculate the tax liability. Then do your state return. KY will give you a credit for the WV tax liability- the lower of the tax rates.
Your resident state taxes all income but gives a credit for income taxed by another state. Please carefully follow these directions.
You will need to prepare the states in a special order. You may need to delete both states and begin again.
- First, prepare your non-resident return. This creates your tax liability for the non-resident state. How do I file a nonresident state return?
- THEN prepare your resident state return and it will generate a credit for your income already being taxed in the non-resident state.
- The credit will be the lower of the state tax liabilities on the same income. You may owe your resident state.
It isn't possible for the program to create a credit before it knows the liability. Your returns may be wrong if you do not prepare the states in this order.
