Question about purchasing state forms

I am about to purchase my turbotax programs - I use Deluxe Federal and State. This year I retired and moved to a different state. I need to file my work income with Iowa and my retirement income with Pennsylvania. The packet comes with only one state and you cannot buy individual states. How do I add my second state?

Before you start  purchasing state software,   did you move from PA to Iowa during 2024?   Or from Iowa to PA?   Did you work and earn income in both of those states?

 

When you enter your information into MY INFO you need to use your current address---the address you want the IRS and the states to use if they mail you a letter or a check.   In MY NFO you will be asked if you made money in any other state, and of course you will say yes, if you made money in state #1 before moving.   You will also be asked if you moved and you will indicate that you moved.   

 

ALL of your income will be entered on your federal return.   You will have one state software program already included with the desktop download.   By telling MY INFO that you also made money in another state--or lived in another state, that will generate the prompt to download your second state program.   It will be about $40 to download that second state.

 

 

You will prepare part-year returns for each state, and allocate the income you received while living in each state.
