State tax filing

@Sam Hopi --

 

Go back to the My Info section at the beginning of TurboTax.

Enter your State of Residence as CA.

Enter your wife's State of Residence as TX.  Indicate that she lived in another state during the year, and enter CA as that state.  Enter the date she moved to TX.

It's normally best to use Married Filing Joint as your Filing Status.  (Since your wife was a part-year resident of CA, you can't file your CA return as Married Filing Separately.)

When you enter your wife's income information, allocate to CA only the portion of her income that she earned while she was still a CA resident.
