You cannot file a state tax return for a state that does not have a personal income tax. You file the Utah state tax return as a part year resident.

Thank you. So the do I end up paying Utah income tax on my income for the entire year even though I was only there half the year.

No, you apportion your income to only pay on the wages you earned once you moved

That makes sense. Where do I do that? I did fill out the dates and the two states in the beginning. I did not see any other place to do this? The only place I can see is where it says to fill forms for both states but WA is not listed.

You will report that you lived in two states in My Info. You will list the dates you lived in each state. Then, when you work on your Utah tax return, you will apportion your income.

that makes sense and I have done that. Then it takes me to where I would pick 2nd state (which WA is not listed) so I went back then it takes me through the process but I don't see that it took of my WA income. Does that show up at the very end somehow? Hard to tell because I can't see the behind the scenes calculations to make sure it did not tax me on my entire income.

go to Tax Tools (bottom of the black column on the left), Tools, Utah Summary to see if the apportion was correct
