yeah ... that's where i got to also. difficult to do as the pay stubs aren't always properly indicating which state the work was done in so had to resort to the calendar to determine when was at home and when was at college. of course, we have biweekly checks and sometimes one week was in VT and one was in NY ... what a PITA! was ultimately more concerned with the NY return as the VT return (as you suggested) just gets everything.
thanks for recommending that the NY return be done first ... i would have done the resident (VT) state first and probably messed everything up!
thanks for the working through this with me ... the back and forth ruling out non-answers as you built more background was invaluable.
