If I lived in two states (6 months in one and 6 months in the other) but only earned money in one state, do I file two part-time resident returns?

....So the answer is yes, I should have submitted two Nj State tax returns.

but if you intended on returning to NJ and it was not a permanent move to VT. You possibly could have filed as a resident all year in NJ and not filed in VT at all if it was not permanent, and you kept voting, DL etc in NJ.

No, I intended to live in VT permanently. Oy, New Jersey is giving me a headache.

yes, the allocation part is difficult....  Just make sure you completed the non-resident half the year before doing VT. Part year resident.  You will have lots of allocations to deal with.
