I lived in two different states ( 7 months in MA, 5 months in NC) and had (for simplicity sake):
$6K Dividend income while living in MA, but $3K can be excluded since they are treasury obligations.
$4K Dividend income while living in NC, but $2K can be excluded since they are treasury obligations.
While filling out my federal return, I entered the total of $5K to be excluded for treasury obligations but TT is allocating ALL $5K to the first state return I started to fill out (MA).
There is a question that asks how much did I make in MA for "Part-year Resident and Nonresident Interest and Dividends" which is $6K for me, but there does not appear to be a way to properly allocate that only $3K should be excluded (TT is choosing $5K).
The only way I believe I can do it is to remove the entire $5K exclusion from the federal return and enter into TT in the state return under "Other Interest and Dividends to Exclude" = $3K.
