State tax filing

You most likely should be filing a resident (where you live now) and a nonresident tax return (where you moved from).  You should enter your nonresident state tax return first.

 

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.  

 

So this should be calculated for you.

 

If you moved to a state and had any income (including retirement income), you will need to prepare a state return for that state. If you did not have any income at all in that state that year, you would not be required to file a state tax return.

 

File a part-year return for the state where you earned your income. If you had income in the second state, file a part-year return there as well.
