Each W2 must be entered. The forms have already been sent to the state and the state knows you received the money. If you are not able to fill in the state information, it is okay to leave the state section blank and address it in the state return.
Each state has different laws on when you must file. For MO, a non-resident with less than $600 of Missouri income does not need to file a MO return. @Tess92 If you need to file, you can assign the MO income in the state section for the return.
If you are required to file a return for the gambling winnings, you want to create your non-resident return first.
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.
@VDUB if you reply with the state, we can tell you if you need to file or you can contact the Department of Revenue
