Deferred Saving Distribution Payment from another state

I received a small payout from a previous employer last year related to a Deferred Savings Plan set up through them. The previous employer sent a W-2 reporting it as wages and thus took out taxes related. Do I now need to file a State Tax Return for that state in addition to my current home state?

If there were state taxes withheld on the W-2, then you may need to file that state return to get a refund of those withholdings.

Otherwise, whether or not you need to file the non-resident return for the other state will depend on your filing status and the minimum filing requirements for that state.

TurboTax should give you some guidance along the way after you have entered all of your information. If you still have questions, you can share the state and your filing status here so someone can give you a more specific answer.

Thanks so much! I haven't seen a clear direction while completing turbo tax but definitely could be missing something.

I am currently a resident of Colorado, the state where my DS distribution came from is California. Turbo Tax gives me the option to download/purchase both state return forms so I'm assuming that's what I need to do?
