Just a note for all following this thread.

When dealing with multiple state tax returns, you *MUST* do your resident state return *LAST*.

Many states have reciprical tax agreements so that you are not double-taxed on your income. The TurboTax program can and will account for these agreements correctly *ONLY* if you do your resident state tax return *LAST*.  If you do not do the resident state return last, then the program will *NOT* "do the math" to take any tax agreements into account.

If it is a case where you have already completed your tax return and you did not do your resident state return last, then the simplest way to deal with this is to completely and totally delete the resident state return from the program, and re-add it. Deleting the information in your resident state program module may not be enough. You should delete the state module program *ENTIRELY* and re-add it anew. Then do your resident state tax return over from scratch.

To delete the resident state module in the desktop version of the program, open the program and open your tax return so you can edit it. Then click FILE and select "remove state return".   Then save your return, exit the program and re-start the program and open your tax return again. Now click ONLINE, select "Download State" and go from their to reinstall the resident state module program and start your resident state return over from scratch.
