Live in Idaho and work in Washington state. Do I have to enter all my W2's when filing on turbo tax? Am I being taxed in both states?

So I entered my w2 for Washington state and I live in Idaho. But... I was just reading online that Washington state has no state taxes so should I and am I paying taxes on my employment in Washington to Idaho? Can I choose not to?

You are correct.   Washington has no state tax, but, unfortunately, Idaho does tax all of your income because you live there.  So you will need to enter all of your Forms W-2 for Idaho to figure this out.  If you are not having your employer take out Idaho tax, you probably want to start doing so.  If for some reason they cannot, you might want to think about doing estimated payments so you do not owe a great deal at the end of the year.

For tax purposes it's not a bad idea!  (Can't speak for the other details though).  Good Luck!
