State tax filing

@km1902  From the information above, it appears you adjusted the state amounts on your W-2, when you entered your W-2. If that's the case, you need to remove those amounts and enter your W-2 exactly as you see it. You'll be able to "allocate" the income to each state accordingly as you go through the onscreen interview. 

 

  • When an employer withholds the incorrect state income tax and you're trying to get the "tax paid to other state" to be reflected correctly on your income tax return, please see the following:  How do I file a part-year state return?

Important: If you also see a nonresident state return in the State section, complete that return before you work on your part-year return(s) to ensure your tax credits are calculated correctly.

 

Once you complete the proper entries for OR and HI, some of the questions you posted won't be an issue any more. If you still have some questions after completing the two states, please post them and we'll be happy to try and answer them.
