Have a follow up question here on "
Essentially, you can get a credit in each of the states you were a resident of if the income is taxed twice. This will avoid any double taxation. The input will depend upon the state reflected on your W-2, Box 15 for state source wages."
Both CA and NY in turbotax to claim tax credit for taxes paid to other states. The NY options asks you to list "total tax" paid to california, and the CA options are what you shared in the above answer.
If I've moved from CA -> NY (same as this thread's example), is it legal to fill out both of these? I.e. get tax credit in NY for taxes paid to california (on those 24000 of california taxed income), as well as get tax credit in CA for taxes paid to NY (on any of the 36000 that was double taxed by both CA and NY).
If I cannot, can I pick which one gets me the biggest refund? If not, which one should I be getting the credit for - the state I'm currently a resident in, or something else?
