I lived in North Dakota from Oct 2nd - Dec 2nd. I paid state Income tax while I was there. How will this affect my filing?

It depends. If you were a resident for two months then you are required to file a North Dakota (ND) state return for that period to include any income earned and received during that time.

• You must file an income tax return if you are a resident, part-year resident, or nonresident and:
  • Are required to file a federal return.
  • Receive income from a source in North Dakota.
• Military - The above residence requirements still apply. For more information, visit our Residency - Military information.

File two part year resident state returns assuming your other state does have an income tax.

There would be no credit for taxes paid to another state since only income during the residency period for each state would be taxed to each appropriate resident state.
