State tax filing

A follow on question: 

 

Instead of using time as a separator of income, can you divide income, especially unearned income into two groups, and enter the values separately into both state returns?  

 

The case where this would be important is if you sold a lot of stock on a particular day, you would want to sell it while in the state with the more favorable state tax treatment.  If you separated income by the date you left the state to model time in the state, I am thinking that TurboTax could not separate the income correctly.
