This a follow up to the following post: https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/state-taxes/discussion/ny-and-nj-source-income-and-moved-from-ny-to-nj-mid-year/00/1631904

Due to a mid year move from NY to NJ, I've concluded I need to file both a non-resident NJ return (for NJ source rental income earned while I was a NY resident) and a NJ part-year resident return (for all income earned while I was an NJ resident). This is in addition to the NY part-year resident return I need to file for all income earned before the move.

How do I prepare/file two separate NJ returns in Turbotax desktop, and how do I ensure that it is calculating all credits for properly for taxes paid to the other state?

If you are using CD/Download version you can prepare any number of tax returns, with whatever resident non-resident or part-resident status you can figure out. Good luck.

NJ requires that you report all your income on your tax return.

If you file two tax returns with partial income, you will just have two incorrect tax returns for NJ to audit.

File a part-year resident return; A part year resident return provides for reporting income during period of NJ residency and during period of Non-Residency

Thanks, but this advice differs from NJ's own tax guidance for part-year residents who had NJ source income while a non-resident. See the 4th paragraph here which makes clear that separate non-resident and resident returns would be required: https://www.state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/njit26.shtml

Does turbotax know how to handle this situation?
