We recommend you prepare the non-resident state first.  This ensures that the resident state will properly calculate any credit for taxes paid to the other state, that you may be eligible for.  This prevents you from being double-taxed on the same income.

I prepared the resident state first and now the nonresident credit is not covering the resident tax amount.  Is this normal?  I cannot seem to delete my resident state or even start it over - help please!
