NM taxes the net income of every resident. If you live in NM then all your income unless specifically exempted from NM state taxes is taxable income. If another state taxed you on the same income then you would claim a credit on your NM return for taxes paid to another state in the Credits section of your NM return.
After entering your income forms and deductions in the federal interview, you would complete the non-resident state return before completing your NM resident return. You would note the double taxed income and the tax imposed by the other state and use those numbers to claim the NM credit.
Here is a list of income that is not taxable by NM from the NM form PIT-1 instructions. TurboTax automatically applies these exemptions as you answer questions and make entries in the Federal and then NM state interviews.
