Problem entering wages for second state-AZ-for 2017 return. I completed the federal form first, then CO was completed automatically by Turbotax. When I purchased and downloaded the AZ state form, it does not allow me to enter my wages, which were provided on a 1099-MISC.

Income reported in Box 7 of an 1099-MISC or on a 1099-NEC is not "wages."  That income is considered self-employment income, and is entered as business income in TurboTax.  It is not entered in the Wages and Salaries section.

If you enter 1099-MISC in the search box, and then click on "Jump to 1099-MISC", the program will take you to the proper section.

The amount was entered on Schedule C with info provided by a 1099-MISC from University of Northern Arizona.  However, it does not transfer to my AZ return and is apparently being counted as income in CO.

Is CO your state of residence?  Were you in AZ temporarily in order to attend school?
