Agreed. Thanks.

 

The reason why I asked is, if filing as part year resident of Indiana and Illinois, the tax forms should include Schedule-A (for Indiana) and Schedule-NR (for Illinois), which are used to calculate the State Net income and AGI. In these forms, the the specific portion of student loan interest paid while residing in each state is asked separately, as shown in the images.Screenshot 2022-02-24 at 3.47.14 PM.pngScreenshot 2022-02-24 at 3.48.10 PM.png

 

I had issues with turbotax premier, where they did not ask me specifically the portion of student loan interest I paid, while I was an Illinois resident. Hence, the entire interest I paid in 2020 was added to the "Illinois portion" in the Illinois Schedule NR tax form and this made my Illinois AGI and tax refund wrong. Whereas, turbotax asked me specifically about the portion of interest I paid while I was a resident of Indiana, hence the calculations where correct and the tax forms where filled right.
