State tax filing
Thank you for your answer. However, I don't believe this solves my problem so I would appreciate clarification.
I am entering the Tax Exempt Interest from Box 11 on the 1099-Div. Then, as you indicate, the follow-on page gives me an opportunity to split the tax exempt interest between states. However, my understanding is that the by-State splitting on this page represents the relative percentage of each State's bonds within the mutual fund's portfolio, not the amount of tax exempt income earned while living in the State.
As you indicate, Maryland then transfers all the tax exempt interest from Other (i.e. non-Maryland states) to my MD income. This also occurs for the other State that I lived in for the first 10 months, so I am being taxed by two states on the income from all States other than MD and the other State. This can't be right, can it?
I was expecting TurboTax would provide someplace in each State's step-by-step to split out the non-residence tax-exempt income based on where I was living when I received the income -- just as it does for all other income and separately for Losses/Adjustments. However, there is no such capability that I can find.
(Note that I am having a similar problem with Income from US Obligations which neither state taxes. These are entered in total as part of the Federal Income 1099-DIV step-by-step. The MD step-by-step then has a separate question for Capital Gains from US Obligations for MD which are added to the earlier Income, but there is no TurboTax question in either State to split the US obligations offset between the two States so the total Income offsets show up in both States -- another double-count, even though the income itself is split between the two states. I am going to fix this with a Form Override, but I don't like to do that.)
Thanks in advance.
