State tax filing

@TaxBuddy2021 asked:

<<"I understand that my time worked in the other state means that I have income earned in that state. Is the correct process for me to manually allocate my wages to the nonresident state based on the number of days I worked there and file as a non-resident to pay the taxes I owe?">>

 

That is exactly the correct procedure.  Be sure to complete the non-resident tax return first, so that your home state (which can tax ALL your income) will credit you for the taxes paid to the non-resident state, on the income that is taxed by both.
