I have one W2 from Lush Cosmetics that has my income from all of last year, but I made that income in two different states (CA and CO) I need to put my income from just California for my state return. What do I do?

The California State return isn't giving me the option to enter in my wages

Did you live in both CA & CO in 2016? (i.e. part-year resident of both?)

I lived in Colorado for 3 months in 2016 and the rest of the year, I lived in California.

Both part-year TT/CO and TT/CA returns allow you to allocate your income so that each is taxing only the income earned while you lived there. The programs guide you through that process.

To get those two part-year returns going in TT, in Personal Info indicate that your resident state is California, you didn't live there all year, enter the date you moved to Calif, then select Colorado as the state you moved from.
