No, you don't owe taxes to your old state. But you do owe taxes to your current state, and you may get in trouble for not filing a return and claiming your income in your current state of residence.
You need to tell TurboTax that you are a full-year resident of your state. You also need to share your current address with your employer.
Residency is one of those things that TurboTax asks you about in several places:
- Under Personal Info, it asks you about your state of residency.
- Under Personal Info, it asks you for your mailing address.
- When you begin your state return, it automatically assigns a residency status, and you have the opportunity to accept or change your status.
- When you review your state return, you are given the opportunity to change your state residency status.
The address on your W-2 is irrelevant information (except for purposes of identification), and your nonresident status for the county would be left over from your 2015 return.
Your current state will give you a credit for taxes you paid to your old state. You should complete a return for your old state first, and list the taxes you paid as a deduction when you get to your resident state. Both state and local taxes are deductible.
