State tax filing

<<what happens is you file a non resident CA return and then you will get a credit on the resident AZ return for the taxes paid to CA>>

 

CA and AZ are "reverse credit" states.  This means (if you're an AZ resident with CA-source income) that you may take a credit on your non-resident CA tax return for the taxes you pay to AZ on the same income.  In TurboTax, you would complete your resident state return before you do your non-resident state return, which is the reverse of the usual order.
