Moved from Florida to Missouri

[Chris276]

moved from florida to missouri in 2024 and I have 2 W-2s, one from my previous employer in florida and one from my current employer. Turbotax initially said I was getting a small refund from Missouri when I entered my Missouri employer W-2, then I entered my Florida W-2 and it now says I owe 2k to Missouri. To clarify I resigned from my job in florida, moved to Missouri and began my job there, meaning I earned income in florida as a florida resident, then earned income in Missouri as a Missouri resident, there was no point where I was earning income in Missouri as a non-resident, so how is it that I owe Missouri 2k? To be clear, I don't really have a problem paying that, but I just want to make sure I didn't miss anything

You should have marked MO as a part year resident and allocated your income. You should not have the FL income as taxable income in MO. Go back to MO and double check your residency and allocations.

It doesn't seem to give me that option, i just went back and reset it and its just treating it like I'm filing as a resident for the full year

Actually, correction, I did just get it to ask me if I want to file as a "part-year resident" or a "part-year nonresident", saying:
Filing as "part-year resident" means you will be taxed on all your income. You get a credit for taxes you paid to other states on the same income.
Filing as "part-year nonresident" means you will be taxed only on income you earned in Missouri.

It sounds like part-year nonresident is how I thought i would be taxed, but since I am going from being a non-resident to a resident, doesn't that mean I am a part-year resident? Or am I interpreting that wrong?

Nevermind! I figured it out! turbotax does do a pretty good job of explaining all that when you go farther through the system
