I lived in 3 states. TurboTax only asks about current and prior states. How do I add the 3rd state so the program handles it as another part-year residency?

The personal info area asks current (on 12/31/2024) and prior states. I need a prior prior state area. I added the third state in the “other state income” area but it’s treating it as a non-resident state. I lived in CT from Jan - June, NC from Jul - Nov, then SC in Dec. SC is my “current state” and NC is my “prior state”. I can’t find a way to enter CT residency.

It depends. In the Personal Information section you should be able to indicate the states.

Review your entries in the Personal Section to ensure that TurboTax has the correct info for the states.

Launch Turbo Tax and select My Info
A Personal info summary screen will pop up.
Select Edit by your name.
Ensure that you have the correct answers for your state of residence and if you lived in another state. If you selected that you lived in another state, a new section will appear asking for your previous state of residence. Select the other state you lived in.
When you scroll through the screens, you will get to the screen Did you make money in any other states? Select Yes and select your third state.
