State tax filing
Yes, if you physically worked in both states then you need to file a resident and nonresident tax return. Always prepare the nonresident return first and your resident state will give you a credit.
The credit for taxes paid to another state on the same income is used on your resident state because they do not want you to pay taxes twice on the same income. As the resident state all worldwide income must be included. The credit allowed is the lesser of:
- the tax liability actually charged by the nonresident state, OR
- the tax liability that would have been charged by the resident state
When you are signed into your TurboTax account be sure to answer the question in the Personal Info section about income from another state.
Then when you go to the State tab you will see the other state there for you.
