Turbo Tax is showing my state of residency as Virginia for 1019, and 2020, but I didn't live in Virginia in either of those two years.

You can change your resident state in Personal Info.

  1. Click on My Info in the left column
  2. Click Edit to the right of your name
  3. Go to Tell us the state(s) you lived in
  4. Change Virginia to your current state

Ernie50, thanks very much for your reply.  I found where I could edit my personal information including my state of residence, but the problem is... I have been living overseas since 2007, and I returned to the U.S. in August of 2020, and so I was living in Virginia for only four (4) months.  I feel that I have to enter "Virginia" as my state of residence instead of Guam because I was living in Virginia at the end of 2020, but except for those four (4) months, I was living overseas and I maintained an apartment on Guam.  

 

Do you believe that could enter "Foreign residence or U.S. Territory) under where I was living at the end of 2020, but for 2/3 of 2020, my residence was on Guam.  Thanks again for your help.
