Do I need to split Self-Employed Income between my home state and another state where I partially delivery food/goods? a

No self-employed tax withheld.

 

Not sure if there is an official way to calculate how much income for a job counts towards home state and how much counts towards another state.  Perhaps by dividing the total earned by the total Miles Driven for each state?

You may need to file a nonresident return for the income earned - depending on the income earned and the filing requirements. Yes, mileage is a reasonable method.

You will claim the full income in your resident state. If you file a nonresident return, prepare it first so you can claim a credit on your resident return.

 

You get credit for the lower state tax on the lowest taxable amount.

  • Each state calculates taxable income differently. 
  • Each state has its own tax rate/ system.
  • You get the lowest of both categories as a tax credit.
