State tax filing

Dear Ernie,

 

Thank you very much for your message. A quick Google search revealed that in my state, I must file a joint state return if our federal tax return is filed jointly.

 

There are no foreign options for the county selection dropdown box, Just "(no entry)" and  “Out-of-state - OTHER STATES".

 

A note I will make is that I called my state's department of revenue last week and they said that there are country codes that can be entered into that box (my guess is I could do this if I was manually filling out my tax return with a pen). I don't see this option in TurboTax. Happy to hear your thoughts on this if you have any.

 

For now, I will default to selecting the Other States option.

 

Thank you again.

 

Kind regards,

- Nate

 

EDIT: A new questionnaire that had not been presented to me last week has appeared in TurboTax which seems to clarify the situation (see photo). It offers "Other Country" as an option.
