State tax filing
Desktop.
Here are the details: We live in State 1. My son was at college for his last semester in the spring in State 2 (which is NOT a cooperating nearby state). Had a service industry job for 4 months in the beginning of 2024. He's still considered a resident of our home state (State 1) that time, but he did pay local and state tax to the state where his college is located in State 2. Then he immediately got a job after graduating and we had to move him to a third state (State 3). He worked there and paid taxes there. After three months or so, his job was then changed to allow for being fully remote, so to save money he moved home (State 1) and then started paying taxes to State 1. I have downloaded all three states from TurboTax. I have inputted both of his W-2s. His employer in State 3, sent their W-2 that shows wages paid to State 1 and wages paid to State 3. His employer in State 2 shows taxes paid to State 2. TurboTax asked me to complete the states in this order: State 2, State 3, then State 1 (which makes sense from what I'm reading), but then it gets to a question in State 1 where it asks about wages and taxes that were double charged. I'm not sure how to answer that. It feels like he's being double-charged since it shows that he owes State 1 a lot of money, but I'm confused -- do I simply state that his full wages and taxes paid (state and local) to State 2 and 3 are being taxed twice by State 1?
