I have a W2 from my employer which lists Data for both NC and SC.
I retired end Feb 18 and some of the income and state tax paid was SC and some of income and tax paid was NC.
Turbotax seemed to work correctly if I put in a second W2 with the Fed Data all $0 and then put the Second State in that extra W2
(Not Taxslayer - That I use for AARP Tax Aide has multiple input fields for the States on the W2 Input Screen)
Thanks for your support

You do NOT put in a second W-2 for that.
go back to the W-2 section.....Delete the second W-2 with the $0 federal fields
Then edit the one that is (almost) fully filled in
….....go down to the box 15-to-17 entry line with the one state that is there
………..Then LOOK closely just under that one state and click on the blue text that says "+ Add another row"
NOW you can add the second state...and keep adding until there are up to 5 total states (Online limit)

why does turbo tax list two states on the software when my sone only worked in new mexico since 2015
@bwalker10 (Repeat of your other post comment)
You haven't made his exact situation clear. You had to have entered something about NC in his tax forms.
There are situations where there may be both NM and NC tax returns....like perhaps:
....he owns rental property of some kind in NC that he earns income from??
...College student in NM, under age 24 and your dependent (and you live in NC....but 7 years later that's unlikely) ?
....He's a NM resident, but worked summer in NC?
....Military member stationed in NM, but whose HOR is NC?
____________________
Something is triggering it...either his state of legal residence, part-time job there, rental property there?? NC Withholding shown on some form you entered?
he has a bank account in nc but has earned little to no interest but has not worked in nc since 2015
I see no reason why NC would be included then
....unless you said he had income in another state on the My Info page(if using the Online software)...[[[or Personal Info page if using Desktop]]] an included NC as that state since the bank is there.
BUT....a bank located elsewhere is NOT a reason for indicating income from another state....Bank interest is considered stateless, except for yoru own resident state.

Income from another state is only to be used for actually working in that other state, or owning a business in that other state, or owning rental property in that other state.
