Can I file multiple state returns with TurboTax Basic?
I am helping a young adult with doing their taxes for the first time.
Scenario: Person lived and worked in CA in 2019. Moved to AZ in late Dec 2019. In 2020, lived and worked in AZ. They received a W2 for 2020 from a CA employer, because their work done in CA in Dec 2019 was paid in Jan 2020.
My understanding is that they need to file for 2020:
* CA non-resident return
* AZ resident return
I suggested that they use TurboTaxBasic online for free, as their return is likely to be simple with W2s, standard deduction, and some charity. However, I can't figure out of TT Basic can do multiple state returns. Can it?
Fallback plan: I have the CD version of TT Premier, so I could use that program. I have CA downloaded already, I would just have to buy the AZ state return.
