Do not modify what’s on your W-2. Enter it exactly as it is. TurboTax will perform the calculations for you. Since you live in one state and work in another state, you will prepare two state tax returns. You will prepare a non-resident tax return for the state that you work in and a resident tax return for the state that you live in. When you complete the interview screens, you will have an opportunity to allocate your income to each state. You will allocate $0 for the state that you work in and all your income in the state that you live in.
Review your entries in the Personal Info Section and make sure that you enter that you made money in another state so TurboTax will prompt you to complete a non-resident tax return for that state. Follow the steps below to do this:
Please note, prepare the state that you work in first, followed by the state you live in.
Please review the TurboTax article Multiple States - Figuring What's Owed When You Live and Work in More Than One State for additional information.
