Q. In TurboTax, there is a way to re-create my W-2 by showing an additional state and dividing the number across the two states, but this will not match my actual W-2 so I won't do that.
A. Maybe. I'm not familiar with the TurboTax CO software. Usually the state software gives you a screen to allocate your income to each state. But some state software uses the W-2 to allocate wages. You may have to use a work around to get TT to prepare the CO return to get you your refund. At the w-2 screen, leave CO in box 15 but change box 16 to the amount actually earned in CO; leave the CO withholding in box 17.
