Hi All,
I am filing a married joint tax return for the first time for my spouse and me. We both live in VA. My spouse's employer is in VA, while I work remotely and the employer is in MA. From what I understand about state returns, we would need to file one non-resident for MA and one resident for VA.
During the process of filing the non-resident return for MA, it is asking me to "Apportion Your Wages?". I noticed two things here:
1) If I click "Yes", I see a third income listed under employer name "Income from Non-Taxing states". This is where I am extremely confused about how Turbotax got this name and its income number. How did Turbotax come up with this employer name and its income number?
2) If I click "no", it shows the total wages earn outside of MA. I have no idea how Turbotax calculated this number. By quick calculation, it appears to be the total of my spouse's VA state income and "Income from Non-Taxing states".
How do I apportion my MA income correctly so that I only want to report my MA wages (even though we both live in VA all of 2021)?
