How do I add an income stream in an Arizona part-year resident return if the form does not prompt for it?

TurboTax asks me to allocate a couple of smaller income amounts, but not my main W2. It all shows un in the State Review as Federal Income, but it shows Arizona Income $0. I need to tell it what portion of my total Federal Income is allocated to Arizona.

Form W2 wages are allocated based on the information in boxes 15, 16 and 17. This information is entered on the W2 screen in the federal return and some states do not allow any adjustment of that amount.

If you feel like your state information on your W2 form is wrong, please contact your employer to get it corrected.

If you need to edit your state information on your W2 form:

Select Federal on the left side menu.
Select Wages and Income toward upper left.
Click Edit to the right of Job (W2).
Keep going until you get to the screen, Now let's update the rest.
Scroll to the bottom and edit boxes 15, 16 and 17.

Hi Julie,

Thank you for your reply. My W2 lists no state tax data but that is actually correct. My situation is further complicated by the fact that I earn in Alaska while living in Arizona and now moving to North Carolina. Transferring the Federal earnings into the State return has never been an issue in 10 years of doing this, but I have also never had to do a split state return. I ended up declaring the income as an "Other Adjustment" and racked up the appropriate tax liability, so I hope Arizona will be satisfied with that work-around. They are getting paid correctly any how.

It would be ideal if the program flagged the drastic discrepancy between Federal and State income and asked for confirmation or correction. As it was, I could see the erroneous entry on the form when addressing other flagged entries but I could not correct it.

Thank you again,
