State tax filing

You do not need to remove all of the data, you just delete the state return and the data will be removed. 

 

To remove a state in TurboTax online you click on the Delete button next to the state.

 

Then add the second state and prepare the non-resident state first and the resident state last.  The program automatically calculates if you would need a credit for taxes paid to another state based on the information in your return.  

 

Depending on how states calculate your tax liability you do not always take a credit for taxes paid to another state.  With some states you are just taxed on the income earned in that state.  In those cases the credit does not apply.

 

Once you have completed the non-state resident return, then complete the resident state return.  The information from the Federal will flow through to the state returns.  You may need to make some adjustments that TurboTax will walk you through.
