State tax filing

Not always. In this situation it should be your wages only so you don't need to be concerned about completing the entire schedule unless there is other income that would be double taxed and credit necessary. The actual credit that you would be entitled to is explained below.

 

State Returns - Assumes both states require income tax returns to be filed: 

  1. Report the income on each state return that is from the nonresident state
  2. Report it on your resident state and receive credit for taxes paid to another state.

Credit for taxes paid to another state is allowed by a resident state when the same income is being taxed to another state.  Your resident state does not want you to pay tax twice on the same income. The credit that is allowed will be the lesser of:

  1. the tax liability actually charged by the nonresident state, OR
  2. the tax liability that would have been charged by your resident state
