Question

I worked for the same company in two different states. After I filled in my w2 numbers on TurboTax it shows I didn't pay taxes in my second state, but I did, why?

Does your W-2 show state tax withheld for both states on your W-2 boxes 15-17? Both states should be listed.

If yes, revisit the Income section to make sure your entries are correct.

Login to your TurboTax Account

Select Federal from the left menu
Click Wages and Income then Income and Expenses
Select review next to Job (W-2).
Click Edit next to the W-2 and review your entries.

I have a similar problem but I do have withholding with the second state. My problem is: where, in TurboTax, do I put in the second state tax withholding?

No problem. The second state withholding does on your W-2 for the same employer, simply select the box to 'Add a state' and enter the second state information. If you don't happen to have a state ID for one of the states you can always use the federal ID without any dash.
