I wanted to ask about filing state taxes. I work for employer in NJ but I lived in NY and I moved to AL during the year... do I need to file taxes for all the states?

Also, how long do I need to have stayed on NY to need to file NY state taxes? I was there for less than a month in 2020 before I moved to AL

If you earned any income while living in New York, you need to file a New York part-year resident tax return. You also need to file a New Jersey non-resident tax return, and an Alabama part-year tax return. You should complete your New Jersey non-resident tax return first in TurboTax.

Got it! So, would TurboTax tell me the states I need to file?

In the past, I had filed for only NY as I just had my W2 from my employer with an address based in NJ but didn't really have to travel to NJ for work.
