I live full time in a certain state (no state income tax as it happens) but was in Missouri for one week working. Lets say that my taxable income was $2000 from Missouri and $198,000 from my home state, so 1% of my income was from Missouri. Should my state tax owed to Missouri be based purely on the $2000 I earned there? It seems that the form has me figure the Missouri state income tax on $200,000 which is 9420 and then pay 1% of that. It isn't all that much but they are collecting state income tax on my earnings for 51 weeks I was not in the state just because I was there for 1 week. Is that right?
