State tax filing

Yes, the way I see it - I pay taxes to MA on all income earned from MA based company.

 

I use MO-CR to get a credit in MO for taxes paid to MA.  Then the only open question that even the tax department for the state of MO couldn't answer for me is:

- MO TurboTax form brings in my total income, not just the amount made while living in MO (lived in MO 8 months, form wants to base tax on full 12 months).  Is this correct?

- MO-CR indicates I should only claim taxes paid to MA while I lived in MO...but if MO is taxing me on full 12 months, wouldn't I get credit for full 12 months paid to MA already?

 

Thanks for any help!!
