You pay tax to the state you LIVE in; you also need to prepare a NON-resident tax return for the state you work in-----so you have two state returns to prepare. FIRST---prepare a non-resident return for UT, and then prepare a return for CO.

You have to report the income you received as a Colorado resident and pay taxes on that income. However, since you worked in UT and paid UT taxes on the UT income, you will receive tax credit on your CO state tax return for the UT tax paid. This prevents dual taxation on the same income.

Using TurboTax you will need to enter Colorado as your resident state. You will also have to indicate that you made money in another state, indicating Utah. You need to complete the Utah non-resident tax return before you complete the Colorado state tax return so that the Utah taxes paid will flow to the Colorado return.
