- Click "Edit" to the right of your name
- Confirm your input under #2 "Tell us the state(s) you lived in." Be sure to select that you lived in another state to ensure both returns are generated in TurboTax.

When you are preparing more than one state return, make sure you prepare the part-year resident New York state tax return first. Be sure to answer the questions correctly to ensure only income sourced to New York is reported.
Once you have entered all of the New York state information, then start your New Jersey return. This will ensure you receive any credits for taxes on income which may have been taxed in both states.
