There are a number of state forms that are not yet ready or available for filing.  Check the schedule below to see if one of those are holding up your return.

 

Here is the TurboTax state form schedule.

You are correct. To ensure accurate calculations, always complete the non-resident return first if filing in multiple states because your resident state will give you a credit for taxes paid (if applicable). Can you clarify what problems you are having with your non-resident state and what states you are referring to? 

 

Generally, the first thing you want to do is make sure you've filled out the Personal Info section correctly:

  1. With your return open, select My Info in the left-hand menu.
  2. Then, on the Personal info summary screen, scroll down to Other State Income, and select Edit.
  3. At the Did you make money in any other states? question, answer Yes and make sure your nonresident state(s) are selected from the drop-down.
  4. Select Continue to return to your Personal info summary.
  5. Click on State on the left-hand side. 
  6. Add the non-resident state. 
  7. Complete the non-resident state return first.
  8. Click on State on the left-hand side. 
  9. Add your resident state and complete return.
