If you were a resident of 2 different states during the tax year (for example, if you moved from one state to another), you'll normally file part-year returns in both states, assuming each state collects income tax and you had income in each state.
TurboTax handles part-year returns, but you need to make sure you've set up your personal information correctly to trigger the part-year state interviews:
1. With your return open, select Personal Info.
2. Click Edit next to your name.
3. Select your resident state from the State of Residence drop-down.
4. Answer Yes at the line below (that you lived in another state during 2017).
5. Select your former state from the Previous state of residence drop-down.
1. Enter the date you became a resident of your new state. This can be the date you arrived in that state.
2. Select Continue to return to the Your Personal Info Summary screen.
6. Repeat Steps 3-5 for your spouse, if needed.
After you finish your federal return, you'll automatically move to State Taxes, where you'll see your part-year states listed. We suggest you prepare the return for the state you currently live in, followed by your former state.
