NJ Non Resident Tax Return

Does Turbo Tax have a download for a Texas Resident that may have to file a New Jersey Non Resident Tax Return?

[JotikaT2]

No.  There isn't any sort of Texas download as there are no Texas forms for file for individual tax returns.

However, you can do the following to ensure your New Jersey return is treated as a nonresident return.

1. On the black panel on the left, select "My Info"
2. Select "Edit" to the right of your name.
3. Scroll down the page and review the answers to your questions.
4. Ensure your answers to the state you lived in and mark it as TX.
5. Pay special attention to the line at the bottom which asks if you earned money in another state.  Confirm this entry is entered for New Jersey.

Once you enter this information, you should go back into the W-2 input under income.

Select Edit for this W-2 and scroll down to box 15, State & Local Taxes.  Make sure you enter the correct information for New Jersey and Texas as listed on your W-2 form(s).

Then go back into the state returns starting with the nonresident return.  Be careful as you answer the questions to ensure only the New Jersey source income is entered in these sections.

The download you're looking for is the NJ State program.

If you bought TurboTax with one free state program included, you can choose that one to be NJ.
