How do I file taxes if I lived in StateA for 4 months, moved to StateB for 6 months, and then moved back to StateA?

Turbo tax is trying to make it seem like I only lived in stateA for the last part of the year.. but I lived here longer than that It was an equal split but on either ends. How do I fix this? Or how do I indicate this

Please refer to @Jotika T2 for details on how to enter your information in TurboTax.

 

You need to file Part-Year resident return for each state and allocate your income between the two states. 

How do I allocate (split) income for a part-year state return?

It depends.

 

If you literally moved your domicile (your main, primary home) back and forth, abandoning the old domicile with each move, then you would file a part-year resident return in each of the two states.

 

If you kept your domicile in State A all year, and moved to State B temporarily (for example, to attend school), then you would file as a resident of State A and a non-resident of State B.

 

If you kept your domicile in State A all year, and if State B has a "6-month rule", then you might have to file a resident return in each of the two states.  (Many states regard you as a resident for tax purposes if you spend 183 days or more living in that state, even if your domicile is in another state.)
