State tax filing

The W2 entry in the federal section is often entered to match the forms you received rather than reality. You need to have non-resident states correct on the w2 screen. If your employer put the full amount for your resident state, that needs to be adjusted.

 

For example: If you earned $25,000 in state A and $5,000 in state B yet your w2 says $30,000 for your resident state, you would need to change that $30,000 entry and subtract the income from out of state. 

Don't worry about changing things. The other state and fed have a copy of the w2 as well. Your resident state just adds up everything so we need to give them the true earnings.
