state return saying $0 for nonresident

I filed my nonresident state taxes in SC and it is showing my return being $0. There is no way this is correct.

We'd love to help you complete your tax return, but need more information. Can you please clarify your question?

 

We can not see your return and would need more information in order to comment on why this may be or how to correct it.

state return saying $0 for nonresident

I am a resident in Georgia. I work in Georgia. I also work in South Carolina. I am a non-resident in South Carolina. I am a nurse. I have two W-2s. One for Georgia and one for South Carolina. When I submit my information, it says I owe $600 in Georgia state taxes and South Carolina $0. What would cause this? I feel like it's wrong. Last year I owed Georgia a small amount but got a large refund in SC.

Are the two W2 forms identical?  Did you indicate that you made money in another state (SC) besides your resident state? when you entered your Personal Information into the program?  Did you complete your SC nonresident tax return before your Georgia resident tax return?  

 

Typically, you'll file a non-resident state return for the state you worked in and pay that state's tax. You'll then get a credit for taxes paid on your resident state return.

okay yes the two W4 forms are identical and I did all of that. On the state tax page, I have a notification that says "fill out nonresident form first" which I did. It has South Carolina listed first as nonresident and then it has Georgia beneath it listed as resident. Do I need to do anything else? Are you saying I need to submit the SC one first? Then do I come back on my account and create another state tax for GA? I thought I could just do both and fill out the SC a nonresident first with Georgia return beneath it.

You do not need to file/submit SC before GA, you just need to complete them in that order within TurboTax.

 

Did you have any state withholdings for your SC income?
