Depending on what the adjustments relate to, you can allocate this amount in multiple ways:   - if the event that caused the adjustment occurred only while you were a resident of CA, allocate $0. If the event occurred only while you were a resident of NY, allocate the full $604. (For example, if this is an adjustment for the deductible portion of self employment tax, and you only had the business while in CA, then none of that adjustment would be allocable to NY since none of the related income was earned in NY.)   - if you can pinpoint exactly when the expenses were made that gave rise to the adjustment, allocate based on actual amounts paid when you lived in NY.   - if the amounts were earned ratably over the year, allocate based on time. 2 weeks out of 52 weeks equals roughly 3.85%, so you could allocate $23 ($604 x 3.85%) to NY.   - you can also prorate based on income. Take your New York Income/Total Income and multiply the result by $604.

Please get this Missouri State issue fixed in Turbotax.  It is confusing to have the product state we need to print and mail in the payment voucher (with our payment) when we elected to direct debit from our bank.  Clearly this is a software error.  

Actually, it may be better tax-wise if less days are attributed to California on your W-2 than you calculate.  CA tax is most likely higher than Illinois tax. Also, if you change the CA wage amount, the CA tax amount will be higher, so you may owe tax to CA.    However, you can change your W-2 entry to correct the salary amount allocated to CA; just be sure to save documentation as to why you did that, and how you calculated the amount. The IRS is fond of document-matching, so you could get an inquiry.   Here's more info on Allocating State Wages on  a W-2.       @ckarthiksriram

We calculate the penalty based on: The amount of the underpayment The period when the underpayment was due and underpaid The published quarterly interest rates for underpayments" See the link below for more information: Underpayment of estimated tax penalty
