I did. The taxes were paid by my pension plan.  They were changed to Illinois, where I lived in 2024, mid year. I entered them. I said that I spent no time in California in 2024 and I didn't earn anything there either. So where would I enter 0 CA income? Thanks for any help.

The District of Columbia has reciprocity agreements with Maryland and Virginia. If you are a resident of one of these states, and meet certain conditions, you may not need to file a Virginia income tax return.    The rules for requiring you to file a nonresident return vary by state. Every state does have its own rules regarding nonresident returns. For example, nonresidents with more than $33 in Pennsylvania-sourced income must file a return, while nonresidents with less than $600 in Missouri income don't have to file.   For remote workers if you work as an employee but the employer who pays your wages is located in a different state, you may be considered a remote worker. Remote workers pay state income tax to their resident state and don't need to file a nonresident state return, but not always. Each state has different guidelines, so it's important to look at individual state rules to determine if you need to file for that state this year.    If you are unsure about your state's requirements, you can  contact the Department of Revenue in that state, or visit their website. Most state websites have a section devoted to nonresidents and part-year residents.   Check your state's Department of Revenue website for more details.   TurboTax does ask you the appropriate questions to appropriately file a nonresident state return if it is required.     Click here for Which states have reciprocal agreements?

Yes, you can claim the income from the 1099-R on your tax return. If you want the IRS to know where to look for this income you can also do a nominee procedure that will clarify it for them.   Nominee Returns.  This is how the IRS knows what you are doing. Generally, if you receive a Form 1099 for amounts that actually belong to another person or entity, you are considered a nominee recipient. You must file a Form 1099 with the IRS (the same type of Form 1099 you received).  You must also furnish a Form 1099 to each of the other owners.    File the new Form 1099 with Form 1096 (this is a transmittal for the 1099) by mailing to the Internal Revenue Service Center for your area. (Provided on the Form 1096) On each new Form 1099, list the trust as the payer and the other owner, as the recipient. On Form 1096, list the trust as the nominee filer, not the original payer.  The nominee is responsible for filing the subsequent Forms 1099 to show the amount allocable to each owner. The forms filed with the IRS should be the red copy so if you don't have a color printer, go to the IRS website and order the forms here:  Form 1096 Form 1099-R
