Box 16 of my W-2 has two amounts and was a part-time resident of two states
Worked in and lived in IL, but moved to IN in August 2022, so I'm a part-time resident of both IL and IN for 2022.
I still work in IL for the same company so all wages are still from the IL company and did not earn any wages in IN.
How do I handle the two different amounts in box 16?
1) Total wages
2) Appears to be 45% of my total wages
Typically, total wages earned in IL are reported on IL state tax as a part-time resident and ZERO wages for IN (because I did not earn income in IN) as a part-time resident of IN.
BUT, Turbotax is auto-populating the second amount into IN wages and I end up owning 1000s of dollars. If I remove the second amount on my IN state form, I get a small refund.
How do I handle this?
What is the right way?
I have done taxes for years and always used TurboTax, but have never seen two amounts in box 16. I have done my family's taxes and they work in IL and live in IN ( similar situation) and never seen this before.
