When I left, the employer never terminated me and they still consider me an "active associate". However, I no longer live in that state and want to make sure I file my taxes correctly. I'm only seeing the state return from my home state.

The program only knows what is on your w2. Some states have either a reciprocal or a reverse credit agreement. It may be that you don't need the second state. Which 2 states? Did you just live in the state for a while or did you actually register to vote, change license, car, etc with intention of living there?</P> Wed, 09 Feb 2022 00:33:13 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-how-do-i-file-a-second-state-s-taxes-when-the-employer-never-ended-my-employment-i-don-t-eve/01/2460951#M878826 AmyC 2022-02-09T00:33:13Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-how-do-i-file-a-second-state-s-taxes-when-the-employer-never-ended-my-employment-i-don-t-eve/01/2461044#M878861 <P>My home state is Utah, and it is showing my state returns as such. The second state was Washington and shows a Washington address on the W-2, which is reflecting on the software too. I did get a Washington license and had temp tags but never a full registration there. I have since re-applied for my Utah license and have my car registered, voter registration, etc. here. I guess I'm just confused because where it shows the refund amount, it says Federal and Utah, but not Washington.</P> Wed, 09 Feb 2022 01:01:36 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-how-do-i-file-a-second-state-s-taxes-when-the-employer-never-ended-my-employment-i-don-t-eve/01/2461044#M878861 megantaxx9 2022-02-09T01:01:36Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-how-do-i-file-a-second-state-s-taxes-when-the-employer-never-ended-my-employment-i-don-t-eve/01/2461060#M878868 <P>Washington does not have an income tax. &nbsp;You don't file a state return for them. Did you get a W2 from them for your federal return?</P> Wed, 09 Feb 2022 01:06:30 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-how-do-i-file-a-second-state-s-taxes-when-the-employer-never-ended-my-employment-i-don-t-eve/01/2461060#M878868 VolvoGirl 2022-02-09T01:06:30Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-how-do-i-file-a-second-state-s-taxes-when-the-employer-never-ended-my-employment-i-don-t-eve/01/2461130#M878900 <P>Oh!
