State tax filing

You will be completing two state tax returns.  A residential state tax return (MA) and a nonresidential state tax return (NY).  TurboTax will determine the credit due on your residential state tax return for taxes paid in your nonresidential state.  

 

Enter your forms W-2 as they are shown.

 

When entering your state tax returns, when multiple states are involved, you should enter your nonresidential state tax return first (NY).

 

Then enter your residential state tax return (MA).

 

It is recommended to prepare the nonresident state first, because your resident state will provide you a credit for the tax you pay to the nonresident state.  By preparing the nonresident state first, TurboTax can transfer the credit information to your resident state to return.
