State tax filing
No. You should only owe taxes for the two months you lived in MO. Let's figure it out!
In preparing your return, you must ensure that you answer the questions about where you lived accurately in the "My Info" section of the return. Also, make sure that you answer the interview questions about how long you have lived in MO accurately. It must show a Part-Year or Non-Resident Return.
If you were a resident of two different states during the tax year (for example, if you moved from one state to another), you'll normally file part-year returns in both states, assuming each state collects income tax and you had income in each state. In your case, Texas does not have income taxes so no return is needed for Texas.
TurboTax handles part-year returns, but you need to make sure you've set up your personal information correctly for us to do so. TurboTax will ask about where you lived in 2023 when you set up your personal information. For more detailed instructions use this link: How to File a Part-Year State Return
Just for further clarification, see the exhibit below on how MO taxes part-year resident's income.
See Line 1 breaks out Missouri Income from total income. If you use the instructions above and enter dates lived in MO correctly, the software should compute the taxes on MO income only.
