I was a travel nurse all of 2020. I did not technically live or work in IN the entire year. IN came back and said we owe $1400 in taxes. I was suppse to get $1200 back.

I also paid state taxes in New Mexico, as a non-resident. We moved to HI in July, so also had taxes here. Why would I owe IN so much?

You'll have to ask the IN Dept. of Revenue that question.  "I was suppose to get $1200 back" indicates that you filed an IN tax return.  How did you file; full year resident or part year or non resident? Why was there IN withholding?  If you lived in IN prior to going to NM, you were most likely still an IN resident and NM was only a temporary work location.  "We moved to HI in July" sounds like you were a part year IN (Jan-Jun) resident and a part year HI resident (Jul-Dec).  You should have file a part year resident IN return, paying IN tax on your Jan-Jun income, but claiming a credit for the tax you paid to NM on the same income.

Thank you did the response. I did file part time resident in IN. I also paid taxes in NM though. I read the article though and maybe I really do owe that much. That means though I pay around $2700 for 6 months of being a resident in Indiana...I will try and contact a tax consultant there though
