State tax filing

For the Idaho part-year return, your mother would report 1/2 of her interest/SSA income , your father would report 1/2 of her interest/SSA income (as nonresident/Idaho source income).  The Idaho entry in TurboTax is easy because you do not have to distinguish whose income it is- you will enter the amount of her interest/social security for the time she lived in Idaho.  

 

For the Missouri return, a part-year resident can take either the Missouri resident credit or the Missouri income percentage, whichever provides the greater benefit. Because Idaho is a community property state, you can try both ways to see which is better.
