Tax help for military filers

@kwilkk ,  assuming that your home state is AL and because AL does not have a  reciprocity agreement with CA etc.,  your AL incomer must world income i.e. including those income allocated to other states. -- should be the same as your federal  W-2 Box 1.  But you have to prepare the non-resident state  income,  return first -- this way you know what the tax liability  for that state.  You AL ( home state ) is the last one you do and TubroTax should  guide you how to claim tax credit for taxes paid to the other state(s).   This obviously generic answer.

 

I am pretty sure  my colleague @Hal_al is the expert  for Alabama and should be able to help in nitty-gritty of the situation.

 

@Hal_al  please could you help
