Completion of state returns in Connecticut and Maine

[SJStamm]

My wife and I established permanent residence in Maine on November 15, 2023; prior to that we lived in Connecticut.  When I prepare the Maine state filing, do I need to split taxable interest, dividend income and capital gains between Maine and Connecticut?  If so, can I simply base the $$ on a simple allocation based upon the number of days in 2023 that our permanent residence was in Connecticut versus Maine?   FYI - salaries and wages were already split on our W-2s.

In most cases, if you live in state that has income tax, you will get a credit on your tax return for the state you live in for part or all of the tax that you pay to the other state. 

TurboTax handles part-year returns, but you need to make sure you've set up your personal information correctly for us to do so. We'll ask about where you lived in 2023 when you set up your personal information.
