State part time resident Schedule C not importing correct information

[barryschneier]

I lived in Massachusetts for 4 months this year then moved to New Mexico.  I am doing the Massachusetts state tax return and the the information imported from my federal return is not all accurate. While its showing some amounts, like income, as accurate, others are not (like “other expenses”  When I click the option to edit in the Massachusetts return, it is not allowing me to edit.  When I try to edit on the state schedule C , it is not allowing me to edit. It is showing a net loss for Self employment as a result of this which is not correct. How can UI edit or fix this?

TurboTax is generally not allowing the user to edit fields that show a number that was derived from a calculation. If that's what's preventing you from making changes, go back to interview mode and review your answers. It may be that the number of days in each state is off, or that you need to designate which income was earned in which state. 

Different states may also have different methods of allocating income. 

Also, you may want to review your answers in the My Info / Personal Info section to be sure you have entered the correct dates you were a resident in each state, and to be sure you didn't double-count any days.

Finally, you should generally prepare the nonresident state first and the resident state (where you lived at the end of the year) last so that TurboTax can calculate any credit on your resident return for taxes paid to the previous state.
