How to correct return for combo of two states and some residency in both?

Hello!

 

In 2019 I lived in Maryland from the beginning of the year  until 05/27 then moved to Texas for the rest of the year (2 states). I worked for employer A from the beginning of the year until 08/02, then worked for employer B from 08/05 until the end of the year. Between 05/28 and 08/02 I worked remotely from TX for employer A and thus my paychecks stopped paying MD taxes during this time. I have one W2 for each employer and not much else, so I have a fairly straightforward tax return other than the two states part. I will be filing a federal and a MD return as single.

 

I completed my information on TurboTax but I evidently missed something. My MD return is now showing I owe an exorbitant amount (should not be the case based on past year's return and lack of changes in my pay).  I am pretty sure this is due to TurboTax assuming I was a resident of MD much longer than I actually was (and thus I did not pay enough taxes).

 

Where in the application should I go back to so I can correct this so that my MD income and taxes are only accounted/calculated between 01/01 and 05/27?

 

Thanks!!

 

Thanks!

Review your entries in the personal info section.  Enter TX as your State of Residence and indicate that you lived in another state during the year.  Enter MD as the other state.  Then enter the date you began living in your new home in TX.  On the MD return, enter only your MD income.  Income you earned remotely after the move date is NOT taxable by MD.  It is TX income.

Do the above, but also verify the W2 from Employer A shows state income only for the time you where in MD.  The income on the state part of the W2 should be less than the Federal.
