State tax filing

It looks like you have gotten away with failing to file required state tax returns for years. When TurboTax asks whether you made money in any other states, if you answer No it is not going to prompt you to file tax returns in other states. TurboTax relies on you to give it accurate and truthful information. It has no way of knowing that you had income from other states if you tell it that you didn't.


The "Learn More" link next to that question gives some examples of money earned in other states, including owning rental property in another state and working in a state other than the state you live in.


You actually have a somewhat complicated multi-state tax situation. I suggest that you meet with a local tax professional who can advise you about your state tax filing obligations.
