State tax filing

they are part year residents of 2 states based on what you said, during the interview you will allocate income earned to the resident state.  Part-year residents of California - Taxed on all income received while a resident and only on income from California sources while a nonresident.  Were they still earning income from CA sources while residents of AZ?  There is a lot of nuances and you need to make sure you go through the interview correctly.  If at any point they were non-residents earning income, that return must be completed prior to the resident return.
