Hello, I worked in multiple states this year (I work remotely). January-March: FL, April-August: WI and September-December: CA.
In my W2 I see TOTAL STATE $2,600. And TurboTax entered this whole amount into my CA 540NR, like I paid $2,600 to CA. And now CA “owes” me $1,700. While in fact I only paid to CA only $900 and CA owes me nothing. The rest amount ($1,700) was paid in WI, not in CA.
Why does TurboTax making such mistakes? Their system doesn’t check all W2 fields? What about those that are below (where states are separated)?
Who’s responsible for this mistake? I simply uploaded my W2 and was sure they’ll enter all numbers correctly based on my W2, and of course I also answered all Qs (that I was part resident of CA) and my CA gross income, by the way, is correct in my CA 540NR. But taxes there are STATE TOTAL, CA and WI combined.
It’s a mess now: CA “owes” me $1,700 and I “owe” WI $1,100.
