Two States: MA and MN

[Ricco1]

We moved in June and need to file in two states, Massachusetts and Minnesota.   How do we do this?

[DoninGA]

You will have to file two part year state tax returns.  One for Minnesota and one for Massachusetts.

In the My Info section of the program where you enter your personal information you select your resident state as where you lived on 12/31/2019.  When asked if you lived in another state you answer YES, then select the state you moved From and the date you moved to your resident state.

When completing the state section of the program you will be completing two state tax returns.  Follow the interview to complete both returns.

Thanks....do I have two buy two states.  Most Turbo Tax offer only one state return.

Using the TurboTax online editions you would have to purchase two state programs.  State programs when using the online editions are $40 each if you are using the Deluxe edition or higher.  There are no e-file charges for either a federal or state tax return using the online editions - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/

If you use the TurboTax desktop CD/Download editions of Deluxe or higher one state program is included in the purchase price.  The second state program would be an additional charge that is currently $39.99.  There is an e-file charge for each state tax return e-filed that is currently $19.99 when using the desktop editions.  This charge can be avoided by printing and mailing the state tax returns.
