Q. There is "total double-taxed income." I'm assuming that since I only show Utah Taxes on my W2, that the total double taxed income should be zero. is this correct?
A. No. The double taxed income is the income that is being taxed by UT. Typically, it's the amount inbox 16 of your W-2.
Q. Second is "income tax due and paid to Utah." I'm assuming that this is whatever I paid in taxes minus what Turbotax has calculated as my Utah refund. is that correct?
A. Yes. Another way to say it is: it is the net tax paid to UT.
The general rule is: your report all your income on your home state return, even the income earned out of state. You file a non-resident state return for the state you worked in and pay tax to that state. Your home state will give you a credit, or partial credit, for what you paid the non-resident state. You will have to file a non resident UT state return and pay UT tax on the income earned there.. You will also file a ID full year resident return and calculate tax on ALL your income. ID will give you a credit, or partial credit, for the tax you pay UT. So, there will be little or no double taxation, but you have the cost and hassle of filing two state returns. Do the nonresident state return first.
