State tax filing
Since you were in the same state at the beginning and end of the year, you should consider yourself a resident of State 1 and consider yourself a non-resident of state 2 & 3 since it appeared that both of those states were only temporary residences.
When you start working on your state returns, you'll want to work on your State 2 and State 3 non-resident returns first before working on your state 1 resident return. If you started State 1 and have not yet finished State 2 and State 3, you should delete the State 1 return as follows:
If you are using the Online version of TurboTax:
- Click Your State Returns under State Taxes on the left side menu.
- Click the trash can icon by the Edit button for the State that needs deletion.
- Click Delete on the pop-up asking if you want to delete this return.
- Then you can click Add Another State to get restarted on that return.
If you are using the Desktop version of TurboTax:
- Click File in the upper left corner then Remove State Return.
- This will bring up a pop-up asking what state you want to remove.
- Click on the state in the menu and then click Remove.
- You can then go back to the State Taxes tab and pick out a state you want to work on.
Your State 1 return may give you credit for taxes that you paid to the other states, so that's why it is important to finish State 2 and 3 first to get their tax liability determined first.
