State tax filing

It depends on which two states you are filing in. Generally, you enter the non-resident state first, then the state of your residence. 

 

Then in many cases, the tax is calculated for the non-resident state, and that tax is carried back to your resident state as a credit, so that you are not paying two on the income twice. That is, instead of allocating your income, it allocates your state tax.

 

But it really depends on which two states. So which two states and which one is your state of residence?
