State tax filing

If you lived in Mississippi but worked in Alabama, you need to file Alabama non-resident return. Nonresidents must file a return if their Alabama income exceeds the allowable prorated personal exemption.

 

You will also file Mississippi resident return and claim income from all sources. AS a resident of Mississippi who earns income in another state and is required to pay an income tax to that other state, you are allowed to take a credit against your Mississippi income tax due in the same year for the total income tax due to the other state.

For accurate calculation, prepare your non-resident return first.
