Two State Returns, Second Shows $0?

Hackurs — Wed, 26 Feb 2020 19:51:16 GMT

So I'm filing in both AZ and PA (moved from PA to AZ for a new job), and I've completed both state returns, the AZ one first. When I go to wrap up all my statements, it says I'm getting back $257 from AZ, and $0 from PA. Is this a glitch?

You would file a Part-Year Return to both Arizona and Pennsylvania, reporting to each state only the Income Earned and Taxes Paid there.

Since I can't see your returns, I can't say whether this was done correctly. If you earned income and paid tax to both states and this was shown on your W-2's, TurboTax would split the income/taxes for you on both returns.

Try doing PA first, then AZ to see if anything changes.

I did indeed choose part-year resident for both. I'll scrap the entire states return and try it out. One thing I did notice is that at the end of the summary of the AZ return, it does say "Your Total State Refund is $257". Just thought it odd that it said that prior to even starting the PA one. I'll try it out and report back. Thank you for your help and time!

Tried filling the PA one out first, says:

Based on what you've entered so far, you have no Pennsylvania tax due and no refund
