State tax filing
At the beginning of the Wisconsin interview, did you see a screen with the heading "Did you make money in Wisconsin in 2019, but never live there"?
Yes, I know you apparently didn't make money in Wisconsin in 2019, but go ahead and click "No".
The next screen should ask you what your state of residence was (and for your spouse, too, if one). Indicate Wisconsin.
Then continue and give your county and school information and so on. TurboTax should now be putting your information on Form 1 (resident) and not on Form 1NPR (nonresident and part-year resident).
You can check this in the CD/download software by going into Forms mode and scrolling down to the Wisconsin return to see what the main Wisconsin form is.
In the Online product, you can see only a summary of the state return. Click on Tax Tools on the left, then click on Tools underneath it, then click on View Tax Summary in the center - note, do this why you are in the Wisconsin interview, so TurboTax knows that you want to see the state summary, not the federal return.
If the first line in the summary is "Wages, salaries, tips, etc. (see page 15)", then you have the nonresident/part-year return (which you don't want).
If, however, the first line is "Federal adjusted gross income (see page 12) ." then you are using Form 1, which is the resident return.
Compare the two forms by going to this Wisconsin webpage.
