My mother received a 1099R showing 11 months pension earnings in one State (VA) and one month pension in KY. She was a KY resident for the full 12 months but her record was not changed until Nov. How do I go about reporting the total income in KY and none in VA?
Your mom should file VA non-resident state return to receive a refund for taxes withheld.
To ensure accurate calculations, always complete the non-resident return first.
Make sure you've filled out the Personal Info section correctly:
On your VA return, it will show your federal income and ask you to allocate what is sourced in that state, you will say 0
On your KY return, it will show your federal income and ask you to allocate what is sourced in that state, and you can select all.
