State tax filing

Q. Where is the list of state taxes that support non-resident filing? 
A.  There is no list. TurboTax (TT) can handle personal, non resident, returns for all states.

 

Q.  I'm wondering if it can handle my situation anyway because it's kind of confusing for me to wrap my head around?

A. Yes. The method may vary, depending on the state. 

 

Q.  Would the TT state programs ask me to allocate the losses across the states in which they originated?

A. Yes. 

 

Q.  I'm not sure how to break the tax loss carryforwards across the different states. 

A. TT will not do that allocation for you.  You have to decide how much is allocated to each state and manually enter it. 

 

Q. But if I don't, it looks like I had more income in each state than I really had in total. 

A. If none of the carry forward loss is allocated to a particular state, then it would not be wrong for that state return to be showing income.
