Why does it keep saying I am a part-year resident?

TurboTax identifies you as a part-year resident based on the information you entered in your Personal Info (Federal) profile or if you have multiple state returns in your account. 

Common Reasons for This Status

• The "Lived in Another State" Box is Checked: In the My Info or Personal Info section, there is a box that asks if you "lived in another state" during the year. If this is checked, TurboTax automatically triggers a part-year resident status for the states involved.
• W-2 State Coding: If a W-2 has multiple states listed in Box 15, the software may assume you moved between those states during the year.
• Data Carryover: If you indicated you lived in another state last year, that information may have transferred over into your current return. 

How to Fix the Residency Status

Update Personal Info:

• Go to My Info (or Personal Info) on the left menu.
• Click Edit next to your name.
• Find the question "Tell us the state(s) you lived in".
• Ensure your Resident State as of December 31 is correct and uncheck the box for "I lived in another state" if it does not apply.

Delete the State Return: Sometimes changes in the Personal Info section do not fully update the state return.

• Go to State Taxes > Your State Returns.
• Click the trash can icon to delete the state return that is showing the wrong status.
• Restart the state interview; the software will pull the updated (correct) info from your Personal Info section.

Clear Browser Cache: If the status persists after you've made changes, log out, clear your browser's cache and cookies, and log back in.
